You are right about that, they pay next to nothing.  On the other hand,
I see it as a donation to a business that helps me, as I frequently buy
things from them.  I guess it depends on one's perspective.  I also have
a similar perspective on what to do with CDs, however, most places give
you more for your CDs than 1/2 Price books...and of course, there is
always ebay...which I plan to use soon to dispose of some of the collectable
records I have found.  And, speaking of half price, I found at one of
our local places a fairly rare item for 99cents...the Furtwangler Eroica
on Urania!
