Anyone else totally rip off Columbia Music Club?

BMG and CD's

Nah... it was like you only had to buy one more at regular price. (and shipping) Was it you get half up front and then the rest?

Yep, a few times. No id required, was too easy

my brother and I did it in the early 70's- Columbia, it was four albums for a dollar
we got

Led Zepplin I
Black Sabbath Paranoid
Hendriz Cry of Love
Three Dog night One

My roommate and I got into a bit of a racket in the early 90's with Columbia House. We'd sign up for the deal, get the CD's, then take them to Walmart for a refund. This was back when Walmart took just about any exchange, no questions asked, even without a receipt which we obviously never had.

Tried it with BMG, but they had different bar codes and they wouldn't take them.

I tried when I was a teenager but my dad found out because they kept sending notices and he made my pony up on the deal lol

If your dad had a brain, he'd call them up on your behalf, tell them how old you are, remind that the contract was unenforceable, and that, as such, you would not be buying six CD's from them. And then you wouldn't have heard from them again until you did it again under a new name.

Rinse. Lather. Repeat.

They promised this:



Then what you actually got was this:










and those fricking half cent tapes they used would start squeaking like chipmunks 6 months later to the point they were unlistenable.

So Columbia House.
