I find that an odd comment. I have never, ever, ever bought a CD and
thought, "Oh well, I can probably re-sell it later and get some of my money
back." Just like guitar strings, VHS movies from Wal-Mart or the "Ocen Blue
Mist" air freshener. Some things I buy with the attitude "Well, if I don't
like it, I won't buy it agian". Not a criticism or anything, just a
different mindset I guess.

I guess it's the disposable music attitude vs. the obsessive
collector. But I just don't think the
make-your-own-compilation-at-the-store-box would work because the
people who like disposable music are already perfectly happy with
mp3s. Using the term "resale value" was kind of stupid I'll admit,
but people I know with large broad record collections tend to go
through every once in a while and weed out stuff that's just
collecting dust. It saves space and gives you store credit to buy
more of the stuff. You know, just like a junky pawning his guitar!
