CD's > are going for $8 in Hong Kong! Where in Hong Kong is this?? I was in Hong Kong in December, and in all the places I went, CD's were going for between $90 and $100 HK, which is about $11.50 - $12.75 U.S. Was there some fantastic CD place I should've known about? The places I looked did have fantastic selections, though. On the shelves, they stack them horizontally instead of using those insipid plastic carriers (I guess they have less of a theft problem), but they devote as much shelf space to CD's as most well-stocked places do here. They also know better than most American places what "alphabetical order" is. Most of the audio stores I was in were just like the ones in Times Square, but there was one "high-end" place that had things like Quad ESL-63's for $2100/pair, as opposed to $3400/pair here. But I was out of traveler's cheques. :-( -Ed Horch {ihnp4,akgua,houxm}!hou4b!ebh
