Hey, what should I do with a CD I have two of? →[More:]I'm an idiot. I just got a CD from Amazon that I forgot I ordered. In the meantime, I went and bought it at a store a couple of weeks ago. I was hoping the Amazon CD was going to be sealed (it's brand new but wasn't shrinkwrapped - I knew of this companies import policy, long story) so I could just return that one to the store. But it's not, so I can't. Any brilliant ideas on what else I can do, or should I just suck it up?

Any used cd stores nearby that will buy or trade?

Alternatively, sell it on ebay or half.com.

If you tell us what it is, maybe one of us wants to buy it.

it's this. It's really good.

Send it to a friend who you think will like it. Include a note asking them to pass it to someone else if they don't like it. (I did this recently with a CD I bought - a packing error meant the case contained two discs).

I'll probably end up doing that, alto.

Ooh, Studio One Women? You could always mail it to me.

(Also, don't sweat it--I did the same thing recently with the Daktaris reissue.)

Aww, thanks, hellbient. Check your email, and if you'd like my second copy of that Daktaris disc, let me know.

man, that's funky stuff. You got yerself a deal, mister. that worked out nice, eh?

posted by Hellbient 29 April | 19:27

Indeed it did. So, who else has unwanted doubles of something?

I have an unwrapped extra copy of the reissued Fear Of Music by Talking Heads... it's a Dualdisc: the CD side is the album (a SWEET remastered version) plus three extra songs; the DVD side is a 5.1 surround mix of the album (very, very strange, but cool) plus a couple of videos.

Anybody a Talking Heads fan here?

I'd be interested, BoPo, but I got the whole box set of those.

I was just telling myself I needed to get Fear of Music off my vinyl and onto my ipod. I Zimbra has been running thru my head since I bought the Bush of Ghosts remaster. I would love it.
