new cd's for $5.99 and $6.99 is it a new trend or not?

[readyreader]

Now if target and best buy and circuit city start puttin out new cd's for $5.99 and $6.99 remeber Lil Flip was one of the first to do this, I think it really help boost his sells and he propably made a lot of sells, but I went to a lot of stores and his cd which comes with two disk was cheap I haven't seen a price higher than $13.00 and that was the regular price at one store and I think at cdnow, but that is still really cheap. I wonder if this is a new trend that is about to start. For lil Flip this is good he has arrived I think because it is wonderful to see your product in the target paper ,imagine that!

itz a trend among chain retailers such as best buy and target who are willing to take a loss on a cd in order to draw people into the store and have them buying on impulse. Lil Flip nor any other artist had nuttin to do with it, the marketing people at the respective majors and chain retailers are behind it.

nappy roots cd was 6.99 at tower when it came out

the price point that yall is talking bout is typically 799-999 for a new cd. its called "new artist" pricing. the retailer makes the same amount but the label takes less then it would normally get, so the artist gets less too.

fyi

im sure you can probably get 2 or 3 Smoov-E cd's for around that price...about 5 or 6 bucks
