I would think your only option would to buy it used from a second hand music shop.

 

[FoBoT]

you checked half.com?

 

[meltdown75]

maybe check used CD stores? there is one down the street - name the CD and perhaps I can look for you.

IIRC a lot of pawn shops usually have used CDs.

what artist?

I'm in a similar predicament involving older PC games. I want to purchase a new copy...but they simply aren't available for sale.

Looks like it sucks. You probably won't be missing out on anything. 🙂

Whats the deal with half.com and its relation to ebay? Is it just like buying from ebay or do I have some sort of 3rd party entity that actually takes the money like with amazon?

 

[BriGy86]

i've never bought from half.com or amazon and i able to just give them a credit card number like buying stuff from newegg?

half.com was a great site with low low prices, like half or less than retail

they were doing so good, that ebay got scared and bought them out

shortly after being purchased by ebay, the prices on half.com went up , up , up and it is no longer as good as it was pre-ebay

but it can still be ok

half.com only takes CC, they don't take paypal

the seller gets paid by half i think and the buyer pays half, not the seller

Yeah, makes sense. Ebay has turned into a real Microsoft competition wise.
