Thought I'd restart this thread and hopefully we can stay on topic.
Recent finds for me were a bunch of "For Your Consideration" CDs in a bargain bin for a buck each. The gems were Harry Gregson-Williams Deja Vu, and Theodore Shapiro's Devil Wears Prada scores. I also got Desplat's The Queen, and Andrew Lockridge's Journey To the Center Of The Earth.
I also found volume 4 of Rosenthal's Young Indiana Jones Chronicles.
Just found Johnny Williams' "Guide for the Married" man for $7 used the other day. I felt the need to rescue it from languishing in the dusty soundtrack section. Poor little thing. Surrounded by dirty, derelict copies of Pulp Fiction and Dazed and Confused....
This year I got "Obsession" & "More Music From The Fall Of The Roman Empire" for £4 each, & "Elizabeth & Essex" - RCA Classic Film Scores for £5, from three different shops, all of which have since closed down! My best buy was the Tiomkin RCA Classic Film Scores, for £12 delivered from Amazon Marketplace (UK). It does pay to keep checking Amazon.
Back in the days before I'd picked clean the used bins of local record stores, I found the '95 re-issue of RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK for a mere $11. Doesn't mean much now, but at the time, I was rather giddy.
Also managed to pick up (off the top of my head):
THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS (both the Capitol re-release and the Ryko version, seperated by a couple dollars) ROBOCOP (for about $7; can you believe that someone actually gave this away?!) SUNSET BLVD. (McNeely rerecording for $5; see above)

Amoeba has a ton of FYC promos. Must be an academy member living in Sf . wonder who it might be
I already took the MULAN and COLD MOUNTAIN (sorry ) BUTI am selling or trading them. check out my trading posts (you dont think i would post here if it wasnt fur purely commercial reasons, do you?)
Sadly, Cincy has little in the way of decent used stores, with maybe the exception of Everybody's Records. Unfortunately, they cater toward the rock crowd and don't have a lot of interest in our little sub-group.
The only used soundtrack CD I've bought recently was THE BOURNE SUPREMACY. Paid 2 bucks for it.
That said, I also found a Roy Harris CD on the now-defunct Bay Cities label as well. Paid 5 bucks for that. I wouldn't have been disappointed had I paid full price for a new copy. It's stellar.
