- I'd be surprised if this were true. As far as I can tell, most of the CDs
- sold by the clubs are manufactured at the same plants that manua\facture
- the CDs you buy in the store. For example, Sony owns the CD-pressing

- money by selling it direct to the consumer that they do by selling it
- wholesale to record store chains?
