Thread Name: A kick in the head for CD retailers
Subject: A kick in the head for CD retailers
Just learned that Rounder Records (recently sold to the Concord Group) has discontinued large chunks of their Trad catalog, and has farmed it out to Amazon.Individuals can purchase them for $15.98 + S&H, but retailers can't get a trade discount, which means that they (including CAMSCO) can't carry them.
   Add that to CDBaby's pricing system, and us retailers are beginning to feel like Walmart just moved next door.
