    Walmarts big ol box of 5$ cd's was well worth the search today if you search through that mess it pays off, today I found Deep Purple Machine Head, Van Halen Women and Children First and one Ive been looking for quite some time Van Halens Fair Warning the second best Roth Era Van Halen album. I have found a lot of good Cd's in that big ol box of 5$ Cd's at the local wally world.

    Amazon Marketplace, 99% used and a local used cd store. Occasionally when I'm out of town I hit used cd stores.

    Amazon (both Prime stuff and marketplace), sometimes used stuff off of eBay, flea markets/garage sales. Craigslist has occasionally been good to me. I love local places like Princeton Record Exchange & Vintage Vinyl. Even picked up a few at the grocery story!!!

    Just like with everything else, I just think:

    "What would decal do in this situation?"

    Oh, I buy mine at the local used store, Amazon, and am heading to one in the Rehoboth outlets tomorrow. Forgot the name, but last time I was there they had the first 3 Tool albums on vinyl for under $20 each.

    I don't know where in northern NJ you are, but there must be a good used store somewhere near you. I think there's a good one in Hoboken.

    I live in northern bergen county, pretty close to the NY border. I do visit Hoboken from time to time so I will look up used music stores next time I'm there. Thanks.

    There is a Tunes store in Hoboken which I visited when I was at PolkFest 2010 in New Jersey. We ran out of time and I had to be dragged out of the store. Lots of great used and new cd's.

    When i was a kid I lived in Bergenfield. This was in the late 70's so the stores I would pick up used stuff off Washington street are probably no longer there but, there was 3 stores on Washington street that would sell used LP, Cassettes and 8-tracks.

    Probably wont help you out but, the memory hit me and I thought I would share.
