Does anyone else buy new CDs?
Reading this sub, I sometimes feel like I'm the only person who buys new CDs. Everyone else seems to just raid second hand stores, charity shops or ebay.
I do buy second hand sometimes, especially if its something hard to get, but most of my collection is predominantly new, especially with the latest releases and reissues.
I sometimes get the impression people get CDs just because they're cheap and they want to build their collection, rather than because they want the actual album.
I also wonder about the impact the second hand market is having on the format. If everyone is just buying second hand, will the format eventually just collapse completely?
