Guess I phrased that poorly. I was merely commenting on the lack of dealers selling CDs these days, when once they were abundant.
*sigh* I miss the old days. When fansubs were multigenerational VHS copies, a lot of things were dub-only, and $40 for two episodes was considered an acceptable price.
On second thought, I only miss certain, overly romanticized elements.

Agreed. Some parts of Cons Of The Past were pretty awesome… but as a whole, the modern stuff is better.
Yeah, besides the fact that a Pioneer/Geneon released a number of Jpop and anime soundtracks, and there’s a number of game soundtracks available in the US, a lot of groups also import Japanese CDs. As long as they’re not Son May or Ever Anime or one of the other bootleg groups, there’s no reason to question CDs being at a convention.
UnCONventional is a comic that ran from December 2009 to December 2019 about the staff of a small town anime convention and their lives. This is a complete online archive of the comic.

Hey! A dealer selling CD’s!
And at a con with a “No Bootlegs” policy, no less!

They could legal copies of soundtracks to popular video games or anime series.

I really need to be more specific when I’m waxing nostalgic 😉

Yeah, the “Stubble Guy’s” table has CDs because I used to sell (legit, imported) CDs at cons.
