I have noticed that the prices of Compact Discs are creeping up.

"Tape Worm" used to sell all CDs for $12.99.  Then they added some
that sold for $13.99.  Now they sell all discs for $13.99, and their
selection is poor.

"Record World" used to run sales on CDs for $12.99.  Now some are
on sale for $15.99.  Their regular price has creeped up to $18.99.

What's going on here?  I thought all those new CD factories, along
with bulging inventories of "junk" CDs would cause lower pricing.

I get cold feet at the check-out counter when the price exceeds $13.99;
I always put it back in the rack, go home, and listen to my old discs.
