I spend very little on CDs now. I like to buy the cheap CDs from UK sellers cuz hip hop has never really been a thing in this country bar a very small number of nerdy stones throw hip hop heads living here.
Really I complain on here but in some ways I am extremely lucky in that my mom gives me lunch money cuz I dont have a job yet. £5 a week, and I stick to the cheapest option of a tiny lil mini pringles tub for 69p, and I only eat in school 3 times a week cuz of my timetable. So I save up the rest of the money and, now that I given up hard liquor until I turn 17, I spend it in charity stores on hella cheap used CDs. I came up on wu-tang forever and me against the world both for £3 the other day. I find collecting CDs therapeutic, kinda a distraction from all the bullshit. And I enjoy having a physic product and watching my collection grow. Its pretty much my only hobby.
As for the handful of rare CDs I cop online, judging by some of these europeans and monitoring current trends, the value of these CDs is only going up and shows no sign of dropping for the foreseeable future. Maybe in 5 years time when I sell my rare CDs I'll make a few hundred bucks profit on what I paid for em to help me buy a house of a car.
I dont trust these banks, I hear about folks losing money too often. I dont think its worth it for the 0.0005% interest I might make from a savings account.
