You also have to weigh the shipping/handling/postage cost if you order a small amount of CDs from online shops. If I ordered Trash from CDNow at $10.99, I'd prob'ly have to pay another $4 for s/h/postage. If I bought it locally, I'd prob'ly have to pay about $12-$14 + about 7% tax. I *did* get it from bent crayon and since I order so much at a time, I got it for $17 and s/h/postage came out to about $0.75 for that CD. It all evens out..... > hell, if i waited for a domestic release for every release i buy i > wouldn't have 95% of the music i own. 'Cos you just never know if it's even gonna come out domestic.... cya brian
