Some long time ago Jason Gordon told us of selling CDs on Amazon. At the time I tried with some popular - possibly too many on the used market - there were shops selling at $.01 - possibly to get their numbers up. With intercontinental shipping involved, I may stick with the 14 I have that are valued between $27 and $30 - I did not take the time to add up the cents involved. 8-) thanks.
