Not to worry…"Fuse" was one of those demo copies…so probably nobody sold it. Also picked up "Scar" awhile back…think I prefer Fuse, though I like "Kindness of the World" better than either of them.
Also picked up D Generration's "No Lunch" for 10 cents…5.6 balls…they were Jesse Malin's glam band before he went alt-country…not really my thing, but a few catchy numbers

For $1 The Embarrassment: God Help Us. Fans of 1980's college radio may remember this band. 6.3 balls.
fuck man - I'd like to punch the idiot that sold Fuse back. It's one of the coolest things going.
Glad to see the nice big balls rating. :D I knew you'd like him.

So why are all these CDs so cheap? Are they scratched or something?

Don't know why CD Game Excange sells things so cheap…anybody have a guess? Three of the four cd's i mentioned were demo thingies, and the fourth was 14 year old disk from an obscure college rock band that probably nobody other than me would want. No scratches on any of them though.

I'll second Pollard's idea. As long as CD Game Exchange has posters of Bob Marley smoking a spliff, Al Pacino shooting someone, and So Many Beers, So Little Time, it will be safe to assume that they have absolutely no idea what they're selling. Thus, the cheap used prices.

I agree.
Unfortunatly the folks at Amoeba do know what they have. I waited for weeks for the price of the Badly Drawn Boy Full length Live Promo to come down from $11, but when there was only two copies left I had to bite the bullet this weekend.
