If one were to want to buy used country CDs for, oh, let’s say songwriting research, Nashville would be the worst place to do it because the used CD stores rarely buy back any country CDs.

WHY?

have you tried Great Escape? it seems like we take just about anything back
“We”? Do you work there? I didn’t realize that. Neat. 🙂
Yeah, GE has some country, it seems, but the selection is pretty limited compared to what you’d find in used CD stores elsewhere, in my experience.
And every time I go anywhere in town to sell CDs, no one ever buys the country ones. *shrug* Just amusingly ironic to me is all. 🙂
I guess it’s like a perverse supply-and-demand thing. The used CD stores seem to cater more to Nashville’s silent minority of country music non-fans. Thus they put more effort into making their non-country selection large and diverse. So as I mentioned below to, every time I go anywhere in town to sell CDs, no one ever buys the country ones. As a consequence of that overall approach, every time I go anywhere in town to buy used country CDs, I rarely find what I’m looking for. It’s not that they don’t have country sections in their stores — they all have them — but they’re small. Typically, you might find maybe 18-20 bins of pop/rock and 2 or 3 bins of country.
Oh well.
yea i work there 🙂
i have to go to work in a bit.. i’ll ask the buyers what determines the country buy backs.
That would be good to know, thanks!
