I made this poll because I went to a used CD shop and it had a bunch of cool stuff.

I prefer used CDs because they are cheaper and you can find some good albums in a used CD shop.

New- fewer scratches, and they smell better.

As a typical jobless teenager, I went for the used albums. They're just so rare near me

every object that has been produced out of natural materials give (by touching, smelling) a great sensation of new, of freshness, i can't give you a better explanation... of course CDs contain little of natural materials, but there's also the abstract idea of having a new object that turns on some strange appetite. don't you find unwrapping the CD exciting? Big%20smile

anyway, i'd buy used CDs if i could.

I prefer new CDs, because the difference in price is usually not very big. I only buy used CDs if the price is low and there aren't too many scratches. And yes, I smell them too.

^ I picked up CDs in used CD stores for as little as 2 EUR ... that's quite a difference!

^Wow! In Finland (at least in the record stores I've visited) most used CDs (at least the good ones) are around 7-9€. Even at flea markets it's rare to find anything good for 2€.

Of course I don't find such bargains everyday ... but I usually pick up a couple (3-5) used CDs each month, averaging at 4 EUR.

It depends. I'm not going to pay the prices some shops charge for CDs. I also find it is good to wait a while. The prices of remasters usually come down. But, a lot of things I am looking for can't be found in a mainstream store. That's when used shops come in very handy. You just have to find places where the proprietors are music freaks too. They tend to stand behind their inventory. I have returned a couple of things that slipped past watchful eyes.

I only like Used Cds when it's the only way i can get some albums, some rare albums. But 98% of the time I prefer a new CD, I kinda love the shiny case, without fingerprints or scratches, I like to take the cd off the case, turn it upside down and see that it's crystal clear, no lines, no dirt, pristine. And I try to keep them that way.

I only buy used CDs if they are out of print (which makes it hard to find a new copy).
