A Few of you have been aware of the recent trouble I have had trying to sell off many of my old CDs. Amoeba only took a handful saying that they were "dog titles" and Record surplus offered me a dollar for every 5 (coming out to around $10 for the stack). They wouldn't even let me pick and choose which ones I wanted to keep. It was an all or nothing kind of deal. While most of them were of zero value to me, there were a few selections that I would not part with for 20 cents. Some of the CDs I didn't want to part with were albums that reminded me of younger days. I rarely listen to them anymore but they are the CDs I might want to hear at some point. They aren't even worth taking up precious hard drive space!
That is when I remembered Wherehouse Music on the corner of Artesia and Hawthorne. They are not as pretentious as Amoeba is so I thought I would take a chance....
They took a whopping 34 cds, some beat to shit and a few with writing on them (from the ol' radio station)! I turned the $10 from record surplus in to $60! Almost pays for the terabyte external hard drive I just bought!
This where the gold is too. A long time ago at Off the Record in San Diego (back in their Hillcrest days) I rummaged through the free bin and found a comic relief CD from 1994 with comedians like Bob Sagat and Drew Carrey. They bought it for a dollar. That is all profit baby!

"dog titles" are lame titles. Like bad music nobody listens to.
