Barnes and Noble has never been know for being priced very well! $18.99 a pop. Wow! I'm not sure why they continue to sell music. Their pricing is generally way off of the mark...especially considering one can simply order on Amazon for far less.
I can never make heads or tails out of anything at Barnes and Noble, pricing is weird and things are usually poorly displayed and organized. The CDs are high end price wise now, but in 6 months they'll put them on sale for $4.99. And somehow they wonder why they're failing...
