CDR Prices really going up?

[oblivion2888]

anyone notice?

 

[BCYL]

Really? I don't notice any changes in my area... but I better go pick up a spindle after work today just in case...

 

[stonerdave]

well, i for one am not buying that story. i just don't see the prices going up 3x, or even 2x, that's just silly. there's only been 1 source which has claimed this, right? the pcworld.com article?

sorry, i've read too much about these predicted shortages in the past, ones which should've driven up DRAM prices by now, not to mention the great monitor drought of 2000 (another 'accurate' prediction by the 'experts'). these analysts should spend more time on factual stories like dot-com's about to go under, or even reviewing the latest gadgets.

of course, even it if were to happen, who doesn't have (at least) a few 50-count spindles lying around, collecting dust? i think i have around 130, and it'll be almost 2002 when those run out.

edit/ ha, 130 blank cd's, not spindles...

People who don't spend money needlessly on what they don't need, maybe?

I don't stockpile CD-R's, there's no point - I don't pick up more spindles until I'm down to about 10 CDs left.

I'm with StonerDave on this one. By the time I need anymore CD-R's I'll probably have DVD-R by then. Hanging out in the Hot Deals Forums, I've gotten too many CD's for outrageously low prices.

actually, you just proved my point. then why buy more than 1 spindle in the first place? unless you're a warez freak, 2 spindles is a stockpile.

besides, the blanks i've picked up are almost free anyway. you have to love those staples rebates.

i got enough cds to last me for 2 years

I hope they aren't going up in price.. I need to purchase another 50

I thought that was what F-dcompany.com was for.

well, the cheap CDR media will remain cheap, and have come down in price over the years...

but the good media are about the same price as they were a few years ago.

 

[aznmoshboy]

CDR prices have stayed the same here in the Silicon Valley.

I bought a 100 spindle because of the brand and price and still haven't used one of them since i got em. HMM!

I read somewhere they were gonna go up by 150% over the summer. I'll try to find the link for you guys.
