No the average price of CDs in the 90s was about $15 and they were on sale regularly for $10-12 in some places.

I bought about 400 CDs in the 90s and still have them.

Cool, but definitely not my experience growing up. You could get those prices sometimes at Wal-Mart but CDa would be edited or censored, and I grew up in an area where there were no standalone CD or Record stores, so all I saw and had access to was mall stores like Camelot Music, FYE, or Sam Goody.

The prices Iā€™m referencing were 100% accurate for my time of reference, which was the bulk of the nineties.

Only towards the end, like literal turn of the century late 1999 into 2000 did things actually start to change.

I promise this is true.
