Most of the CDs I won, I have bought used. As a matter of fact, I got
Portishead's first album used just a few weeks after it was out, which
goes against your hypothesis. At the same pawn shop I got almost the whole
early 'Talking Loud' catalog (Young Disciples, Incognito, Galliano, et.
al.) for two bucks each one. They still have plenty of them if you ever
stop by Bloomington, Indiana.
