$12.87 at New World Record, which is an even $14 with taxes. But I get autographs with that price, so I won't complain about paying more. :D

How the hell are they supposed to make anything off this... I mean you figure in the cost of touring and doing all this promo stuff with hotels and expenses and were only payin 14.00 tops so far... Alot of the other cds are like 15- 20 depending on who you buy... I mean I'm not complaining but damn they are awefully generous!!! :-/

I paid like 14 at bestbuy. I would never buy from walmart or kmart...I don't trust them. I listened to an eminem CD from walmart once and I couldn't understand why everybody thought he was so offensive...hehe.

It hasn't happened yet. This isn't the NYC one. They'll do the signing in Buffalo on Saturday. They gave out somewhere between 300-500 wristbands...

I think the promo tour expenses are paid for by radio stations. Goos do free shows and radio stations pay for the exposure. They're not making money, but they're probably not spending much either.

Also, cds are frequently on sale for the first week. The price will go up in a week or two.

Yeah I got it for 11 something plus tax from Target. I was shocked when I saw the price...I was expecting to pay at least $15 and instead i got off for just over $12.

ohhhhh... thats right your in Buffalo... ok I gotcha now...
I was soooo pissed I couldn't make it to the Vigin record store the day after the Avalon to get the wristband....cuz I mean I was there at 2:00am and no one was there yet, but I could see the employees inside settin up... in fact I guess they started selling them at midnight.... I was also bummed cuz then I found out that Robby was there buying his 4 copies at 12:30 and I missed him.... :'( I guess it was pretty funny cuz the cashier told him when he went to make the purchase that they aren't giving away the wristbands till 9am the next day... and Robby was like oh thats ok dude....I don't need to see them...LMAO, that dudes gonna feel really stupid when he finds out that was Robby!
Yeah I bought an xtra for a friend.... so I grabbed it while I was at Kmart tonight.... The mega store had closed at like 2.... I just missed being able to make MY purchase there so I had to wait till the next morn....I took pics of the store front though... They had a huge cd cover art diplsyed and Goo goo doll decals stuck up on the window.. I'll post 'em in the review.....off to finish that up...

$14.99 at Borders but I had a gift certificate so technically zero. Otherwise I would have held out for Target but my local one didn't have it in on Tuesday.

I pre-ordered mine from New World Record for $12.87 + $4 shipping, so $16.87 total.

12 bucks at target.....I think that they make more money through touring rather than cd sales....as that is what I John had said in some interview that I read.

I was at Walmart at 7:15am, and they hadn't put out their new releases yet....and wouldn't go in the back to get the CD for me. I was pissed. So I had to wait for after work, and picked it up at Circut City for $11.99. They had tons of them....and from the way it looked, I bought the first copy of the day....

The sticker on the one at Border's said $18.99. ::) Normally I steer clear of the place when buying CDs but I had just been to Best Buy and they didn't have it out yet....and I was getting a book from Borders anyway and I couldn't wait any longer.

However, it must have been on sale because it rang up $14.99.

So I paid that and...I ordered another copy from NWR...supposedly it's autographed. I've never in my life bought 2 of the same CD...not even Goo. But the autographing reeled me in!

In Oz, it's pretty rare to find it in shops and it averages about $32.99 i think
