I haven't bought an actual physical CD in a long time but I used to buy them off Ebay. It should say if it's the original version and not a copy. Sometimes they have a pic of the actual CD. I never got ripped off buying CDs on Ebay and if you can find your CD there then it's often cheaper than in-store.

Amazon's usually cheapest and reliable, because they back-up their condition if sold through the market place [if the cd's are used] :] but paypal, iunno about :[

We get some flyer in the mail sometime, forget who its through, but if you don't buy anything for long enough they send you some deal where its like 99 cents a CD plus shipping then I just usually buy a whole bunch at once. I got 15 Cd's once for about 25$.

I usually just stick to Best Buy, their music is actually pretty competitively priced, just a matter of finding the more obscure stuff (not saying that all my stuff aren't obsure, just some less so than others). And I feel a great sense of satisfaction when I get my reward zone certificates.

I've never had a problem using Half.com. I've probably bought over 10 used CDs in the past month without a single problem.
