Sure, and the "usual suspect" resellers of these "used" CDs and DVDs get it coming and going. They (often) pay 25 percent of the customary price for a used (but original media and packaging) item and then immediately resell it for 50 percent. It doesn't take too many "turns" to make a tidy sum, each "turn" of which completely bypasses the original manufacturer (BMI, et. al.) If you are a "thrift shop", you usually get the item for free, and may sell it for 33 percent of the customary price. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
