pixie_twinkle 60 Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 I've been thinking about this for a while and eventually thought, what the hell, let's try it and see if anyone likes the idea. You know how everytime you go to a CD Exchange or thrift store and see a John Williams CD for a dollar your heart always skips a beat, even if it's a CD you already own? Well, here's a chance for you to act on it! The idea is that you buy the CD (maximum price one dollar, or whatever your local equivalent is), and then mention it on this thread. If any impoverished JWFans say they want it, you mail it to them. There is no obligation on their part, and they don't have to pay for it. That means they get a CD for free, and you've paid a dollar for the CD plus the minimum cost of postage. Hence "goodwill", see? Who knows, maybe someone else will list a CD here that you'd like!Anyway, I'll start the whole thing going. If it doesn't take off it really doesn't matter that much, I just thought if we all keep our eyes open for cheap Williams CDs we can help each other complete our collections pretty quickly.Today I picked up "Catch Me If You Can" on CD for a dollar. It's in great shape. If anyone wants it PM me your address and I'll send it to you free of charge.(P.S. I didn't put this in the Trading Board as no trade is involved.)

Greg1138 3 Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Nice idea, and I do now somewhat regret that I didn't pick up the JW "Dracula" I saw on the shelves in London today for £1.50....OK - ya got me - I didn't really....Still, nice idea and I shall be on the lookout....bargain bins seem to be a thing of the past in the UK as far as CD's are concerned, but I will raid what I see.....

Andy 5,762 Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 A very nice idea. I'll have to check my thrift shops. The cheapest JW CDs I find at the used CD store are $5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixie_twinkle 60 Posted May 7, 2009 Author Share Posted May 7, 2009 It wouldn't surprise me if someone finds Dracula for that price Greg. For years I kep seeing JFK for a dollar, and that's supposed to be quite hard to find. I never bought it as I already owned it. Of course now I've started this thread I'll probably never see JFK for a buck again! Hedji, it's up to you what you spend on CDs for the Goodwill, but I set my personal limit at a dollar. I didn't expect people to go out and spend a fortune on this, but if you happen to find something really cheap, why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard P 4,663 Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Great idea pixie, although I also think £1 is a bit low. Particularly in these times.And yes, even if you already own something, it's still cool to see it on the shelf I'm planning to go up to London maybe next Saturday to several branches of some music exchange, so I'll pick up anything good I find going cheap.BTW, if anyone wants the Wild Wild West song compilation (bought for £1 from a clueless ebayer), it's theirs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacob 1 Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Wow pixie, that's incredibly generous. Can't say I'll be contributing (I sort of classify as 'impoverished' -- not really) but it's nice to know there are others in the world willing to do stuff like this.

pixie_twinkle 60 Posted May 8, 2009 Author Share Posted May 8, 2009 Yey! Well my CMIYC CD has been snatched up! I don't think we should limit it to Williams CDs. If you have anything you don't want, or find anything nice at the Exchange post it up here. And Tharpdavenport, the idea is to "give" it away. I'm not trying to start up a JWFan version of Amazon Marketplace! I just thought we could help each other out. With so many of us visiting so many different CD Exchanges we are bound to find lots of dollar CDs that might interest people here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
