sell CD's at £3-5 new and I'll buy loads of them.

insist on pricing them at £10+ and I won't. Nor will anyone else.

I'm aware that HMV et al don't have that much control over pricing, but they sure as hell should argue with those that do. Or they die. [of course I'm assuming that they do, and just don't get anywhere]

incidentally, I buy from HogsHead regularly.
