-
- With a wonderful title like that, how can I go wrong?
-
- This little scam will not reap heaps of completely free CDs, but it will
- allow you to increase your CD collection substantially.
-
- Currently there are a couple (maybe even a few) large Compact Disc clubs
- that specialize in mail order. These clubs advertise in many magazines and
- often boast things like, "DISCS, DISCS, DISCS, DISCS! PICK ANY 8 CDs FOR A
- PENNY Plus a chance to get one more CD-Free! ANY 8 CDs FOR ONE CENT OR TAKE
- ANY 4 CDs FOR ONE CENT!" (Columbia House, 1400 N. Fruitridge Ave., P.O. Box
- 1129, Terre Haute, IN 47811-1129)
-
- The fine print informs you in a FRIENDLY manner that you must buy six more
- selections at regular prices in the coming THREE YEARS. After you do that, you
- can CANCEL ANY TIME without any further OBLIGATION.
-
- So, here's what you do.
-
- Pick out your 8 CDs (for JUST ONE CENT!) and wait. Then when you get your
- little catalog immediately buy your six CDs and fulfill your obligation (this
- way they get used to your BIG ORDERS.) After they arrive, order 6 more CDs
- (oh, what the hell, make it 8 more.) After they arrive wait a few days and
- contact them complaining that you still haven't received your selections. They
- then proceed to send you the same ones again. You now have two sets of the
- same CDs, send one of the sets back and say you "CHANGED YOUR MIND" (this is
- America, you can do that.) Since you don't pay for anything until you receive
- it, you pay NOTHING (except for those six that you PROMISED to BUY).
-
- You now have (COUNT 'EM) 8 + 6 + 8 = 22 CDs for the price of SIX (plus ONE
- CENT).
-
- Well, it's nothing to spit at.
-
- What you do from here is up to you (like it always was-HEY, I DON'T
- PRETEND TO RUN YOUR LIFE!) But, in case you aren't too bright (but that's not
- likely) I'd like to share a little tip with you. They MIGHT CATCH ON if
- everything they send you keeps "GETTING LOST" and you keep "CHANGING YOUR
- MIND", so take it EASY and we can ALL ENJOY this little bit of FUN.
-
- What do those things cost to make? A DIME? That MUCH? Well, if I saw
- your mug, I'd charge you FIFTEEN BUCKS too. This is America, we can charge
- each other whatever we damn well please.
-
- I'm proud to be a capitalist (but that's another t-file).
