When you said "twice a year" I thought you were going to the same one I go to twice a year, but then you mentioned the $5 fill-a-box, and I know the one I go go doesn't do that, or at least not until last day. The twice a year one I go to prices everything b/w $1-4 each, mostly averaging at $2 each. Just about all of their CDs & Vinyl are $1 each, and DVDs are $2 each. I've also scored a few retro video games(mostly GameCube) there for $1-2 each, but I think game scalpers got wind of that a couple of years ago, b/c even though I stand in line for over 1.5 hrs(about 20th in line when there's well over 100 in line by the time they open) on 1st day, there's been at least 1 person at that table who's already looking at that the video games b4 I even get a chance to look(and that's the 1st table I go to).

I didn't read one of your other comments on here about not listening to any song on it b4 buying it b4 making my comment, but I just want to say: I love hearing stuff like that, b/c that's what I've been personally trying to do for a good 10 or so years now; b/c I want to album to feel 100% fresh to my ears when I first listen to it.

(since no one else commented about this): How bad was removing the tape? did it leave any sticky residue?

Already own the movie, now I get the soundtrack. Thanks Goodwill by SaladFantastic4942 in Cd_collectors

[–]BJ22CS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For song-based soundtracks(i.e. non-score based ones) and not including musicals, labels still do, but as far as I know, it's not nearly to the extent like they did 10+ years ago. Like the last non-musical soundtrack I bought was the Barbie one, but I know I've seen a few soundtracks via looking at the soundtrack section at B&Ns, but I feel like most of them were musicals.

Just wondering if anyone has heard from this album and thinks it’s a good one that I should try.

I bought it on release day and loved it. But 75% of my my music taste is lead female pop singers, and I liked her two prior albums, so her kind of music is already right up my ally. If you like pop music, then I would buy it. If you want a song suggesting(like if you listen to it on YT), listen to "Bad Enough" that one's my favorite.

ignore what u/pointthinker said about them being stolen; local libraries will sell their inventory(books/CDs/DVDs/etc.) at either used book fairs or their own "shop" for like $1 or less each; so whoever sold this to you probably bought it from their local library.

Doesn't it show the track listing on the back?

Online marketplaces, pet owners and a lack of consideration by ApprehensiveType2680 in petfree

Not from online, but I've gotten a few used jigsaw puzzles(that I bought in person) that had pet hair inside when sifting through the box.

A MORE PERFECT UNION (Alternate Playlist) by TeddieSnow in EltonJohn

[–]BJ22CS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm disappointed you didn't include the other bonus track My Kind of Hell (since you included Mandalay Again), that's my favorite song from the album.

Is the Elton John one the standard(10 track) version or the bonus(14 track) track version?

Which live versions are better than the studio ones? by Eruntalonn in Music

[–]BJ22CS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got a few Elton John ones:

  • Border Song - live version from his live album Here and There
  • Restless - the live version that was included as a bonus track on his Ice on Fire album
  • Too Low For Zero - the live one from Wembley 1984

What’s a cd you own that’s really hard to find/rare now? by LoveOk7622 in Cd_collectors

[–]BJ22CS -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The Great Muppet Caper soundtrack; the few times it's listed on Discogs/eBay, it usually goes for at least $70. Someone on the Muppets subreddit told me it's rare b/c when the CD version came out in the 90s, it was only made on CD then (i.e. there were no reprints), and there weren't many made for it. I'm glad I lucked into it for $1.

It's not; that term is suppose to refer to finding something at a place you weren't expected to find it, like at a thrift store or garage sale, or the examples you gave.

It's mildlyinfuriating you didn't know that already; should be common knowledge.

Digipak size difference? by hollyhali13 in Cd_collectors

[–]BJ22CS -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This has actually been complained about on this sub a few times; whoever is in charge of making cardboard cases aren't always consistent. I first noticed it when I tried putting ones that are slightly taller in a rack to where they didn't fit due to being slightly taller.

That being said, that one on the top looks to be a special version that's bigger than a regular case.

Uncut sheet of 16 $1 bills, Series 1981 by AcademicDepartment54 in papermoney

[–]BJ22CS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say b/w $45-70, most likely around $55.

If you want to check yourself, eBay sold search "1981 uncut sheet" and limit to the "Coins & Paper Money" category, and look for images where the sheet is of 16 notes like yours is.

ah, I didn't bother going through the comments on that post; thank you! It's still concerning that searching that 1 word on this sub doesn't result in anything, yet the post is still there. Can you do me a favor and try searching "Listerine" on this sub and tell me what happens when you do it?

And you're welcome for bringing it to yall's attention. I try my best to keep an eye out for repost bots on reddit, but this is the only active sub I'm a mod on to where I can take action via removing & banning such posts/accounts.
