Yep. Seen it, implemented it and most other marketing tricks lots of times for hire, along with the fake "do the right thing" guilt. At least my local record store doesn't ask me "have you done the right thing and removed all the songs from this disk you are trading from your IPOD". The only reason it bothered me on LA LA is you could tell it was just marketing BS. Frankly sometimes I rip a song before I trade a CD, and sometimes I don't. But it's my own business, and I am happy with the way I support music. Anyway, enough. Enjoy trading used CDs there now, I can tell you the prices and the service are only to lure people initially, long term their strategy has little to do with trading used media.
