A friend of mine that works at Best Buy said they are going to greatly reduce the number of CDs and DVDs they sell in their stores after Christmas(literally down to one rack). Seems they take up too much floor space given the way the inventory turns and the margins they make on them.
Retail franchises like CD WAREHOUSE will thrive while Best Buy et al reduce their in store display stock of CD’s and DVD’s. Great place to find previously owned discs as well.
Border Books did same; only they decided to not carry them at all. Was thinking; ok. ..at least we have Best Buys. Of course, handwriting on this wall, for some time. Can download, of course; but still love looking through racks; reading; seeing covers; and having a quick ‘bird-in-hand’./sigh But then, I am of one of the dinasaurs who misses Blockbuster/lol.
