We do it because we don't live in high-volume markets.  The best price
in town on classical CD's at the moment is $14.99 -- but the selection
is terrible.  The shops with even decent selections start their classical
prices at $15.99, and $18.99 or even $20.99 is still not uncommon.  I
refuse to be gouged, so I mail order.

Good (cheap) listening!
