Sigh. How many times have I beat the drum for www.GEMM.com?
It is indeed a clearing house for CD dealers. They do NOT sell anything
themselves, but they know just about everyone who does. They'll show you
everyone from fairly large-size stores (fromwhat I understand) to little
shoestring "mom-and-pop" setups. When you pinput the name of the CD or recird
you're looking for, GEMM browses its lists and tells you who has it, in what
formats, and for how much. They sort everything by price, and display it all
with contact info. VERY well-done site.
I spent this weekend looking for stuff, and though I eventually wound up
finding it elsewhere, GEMM-- and Esprit (www.eil.com)-- was my first stop.
Happy hunting!
ps-- yeah, where IS Lynzi?
