MoshowNZ Posted November 5, 2010 Posted November 5, 2010 For all of you that dont already know.. Borders are quitting the CD game and selling off all their stock. All CD's are $10 or 4 for $30. This sale includes everything except for Audio Books. i myself picked up some unbelievable bargains!
tanman_sg Posted November 5, 2010 Posted November 5, 2010 The real connoisseurs had beaten me to music I'd really have wanted but I still managed to edit a small pile down to 4 albums I'm going to like. 77% discount!
kiwizig Posted November 5, 2010 Posted November 5, 2010 Hell there won't be anywhere left to buy CDs soon!

Cooksferry Posted November 7, 2010 Posted November 7, 2010 Last time I was in the Christchurch shop they had some great box sets locked away in a cabinet, but their prices were right at the high end.

My daughter called me on Sunday afternoon from said spot and yes, they were still at full retail. Kinda wanted some off those....
Luckiestmanalive Posted November 8, 2010 Posted November 8, 2010 Wife and I both had a go - ended up with 16 CDs (8 each). Highlights are some old stuff that we only had on tape or record (Cure- Head on the door, Depeche Mode - Violator) and picked up Noah and the Whale.

SugdenA21 Posted November 8, 2010 Posted November 8, 2010 Thanks MoshowNZ - I picked up a heap of albums including: 3 Elaine Elias Brazilian CDs Gonzalo Rubalcaba's Cuban Quartet 'Balladyna' Tomasz Stanko Kenny Durham - 'Una Mas' Amy Winehouse - 'Frank' Ron Sexsmith - Exit... Pat Metheny/Charlie Haden - 'Beyond the Missouri Sky' Neil Young - 'Decade' Brian Wilson - 'Smile' and a whole heap of CDs for the boss & the kids.
