So my near and dear friend Piper brought up an interesting point. CD clubs. Anyone remember them? You know - those places where you could buy 13 CDs for one penny, then each subsequent CD was $18 (whereas at the time on could easily get a CD for $12 at Best Buy). However, a lot of people had timed it where they'd buy one CD then quit. I think some people found some way to scam the system. Although I assume there was something in the fine print that didn't allow for this. I'm not sure. I do believe some of my friends were in CD clubs, but I'm not sure how they made things work.
Anyhow. Do CD clubs still exist? I imagine i-tunes and the downloading of music drove them out of business. Was anyone here in a CD club? Was it worthwhile, financially speaking? Was it a good deal? Was there a good way to scam the system? Please, do share.

Well, as I mentioned in my comment, my brother and I begged our parents to let us do the 8 CDs for the price of 1 deal or whatever it was called. For some reason, we never went to Best Buy...I honestly don't even remember there being a Best Buy nearby till I was older. Anyway, my brother and I picked a bunch of CDs. I remember Jagged Little Pill and The Sign. It was super exciting when the cds arrived. After that, we realized that the program wasn't really that good of a deal. I don't remember how we got out of it.
A few years later, when I was in hs, I signed up for one on my own. I got a Moody Blues cd, a Paul McCartney solo album, an Elton John CD, and some other random classic rock cds. None of them were very good. In fact, I was totally off on what I ordered. I ended up having to buy 5 more cds to fulfill the contract. One of those CDs was Rob Zombie. My parents found out that I had it, and took it away because it was "trash."
So anyway, I was a bit of an idiot. I haven't done one of those programs since. I do believe they're still around, but I have no idea who actually signs up for them. Total ripoff!
