Dan Gould Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 I've been satisfying a major blues jones lately, but I've been doing it almost exclusively through Amazon Marketplace, which gets me to wondering just how we spend the majority of our music dollar.

Well shoot me but I was trying to distinguish between the mighty Amazon 800 lb gorilla and the small to mid-size businesses that use their service to sell to consumers.

mikelz777 Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 (edited) I answered number 2 which, to me, includes number 3. Well shoot me but I was trying to distinguish between the mighty Amazon 800 lb gorilla and the small to mid-size businesses that use their service to sell to consumers. I took the difference to mean Amazons "retail" price vs. what is very often obtained cheaper new or used via Marketplace or private sellers. I'm a #3 but often buy via half.com as well. They would be my top 2. Edited November 2, 2006 by mikelz777 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well shoot me but I was trying to distinguish between the mighty Amazon 800 lb gorilla and the small to mid-size businesses that use their service to sell to consumers. But I generally go to whoever has the best price (and that includes other internet retailers such as yourmusic). So I chose #2 as just a general internet category. And if it's all the same to you, I'd really prefer not to shoot you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medjuck Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 Probably Cd Universe or Amazon but I do buy a lot of things I'm just a bit curious about from the iTunes store. When I'm in LA I do stock up at Amoeba. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazz Kat Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 I dont know if anyone really cares, but I get my music from a mixture of Borders, old record shops, Amazon, and YourMusic. Every so often, I download from I-tunes. Thing about that is you don't get no liner notes or credits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Gould Posted November 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 I'm curious about the ten people who still say that B&M stores get most of their money. Where do you guys live? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(BB) Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 Support Independently Owned Small Business The only time I ever buy any music from a place like Amazon or B&N is when I get a gift certificate. I spend 75% of my music money at my local shop, and I sure do hope Dusty Groove is Independently owned, or I'm a hypocrite once again.

T.D. Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 Went with the "no single place" category. But almost all (probably over 90%) online, with eBay, Amazon Marketplace and yourmusic the leaders. Concord really skewed things this year! J&R has occasional sales (OJCs $6.99, Blue Notes $7.99) which get sporadic moderate orders. I'm in a rural area, but try to support the one semi-local (independent) shop worth visiting.

GA Russell Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 Concord really skewed things this year! Of course! How could I have forgotten! Still same choice for me, online stores, but without doubt I got more CDs from Concord and its blowout sale than anywhere else this year - 46.

brownie Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 I have several record shops within walking distance from my place. That's where I do most of my purchases. Very little business via the internet so far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 Bricks & Mortar - or in Terry's case, a stall in Pontypridd Market - is where I buy most albums - 40 this year so far. But CD Universe is not far behind, with 34, then Amazon UK - almost always the marketplace vendors - 20. Then 18-20 others share the other hundred or so. The top 3 take just over half my spend.
