CD Special Economic Zone
Die-hard music and movie fans know that this is a treasure trove for all their media needs. Although it’s a second-hand shop, they also offer brand-new items, and the second-hand products are all in pretty good shape. The price is definitely tempting: an Indiana Jones DVD box set for just $188, and Family Guy Season One and Two for $138 each. If you’re lucky, you can find some new CDs for just $68. But don’t expect a full collection; the shop sells what they can get hold of, so prepare to browse. And of course, they’ll also be happy buyers of all of your old Andy Williams records.
