Just looks like "New Old Stock" to me. Somebody bought up a lot of stuff they had laying around and opened a store in Australia. I'm sure that there are a lot of stores here in the U.S. that have leftover stuff too.

eBay is chocked full of old CB stock, apparently picked up through liquidation. Lots of Super CDGs that CB "never authorized" also became available, possibly from the karaoke gods who wanted to ensure the CB legacy carried on.

So does this mean these are illegal?

8) Especially since certified hosts were told that the discs in question, that were returned to CB were crushed in a giant compacting device of some kind, and destroyed. The reason for the destruction was to keep prices high and insure that DTE would be able to sell it's rehashed old CB product under the new DTE logo. One thing is for sure there would be little need for any host to steal CB content since so much cheap material is floating around.

8) I hesitate to say I have seen this destruction of material posted on other forums, since hosts here want us only do deal with what is presented on this forum. I think smooth can verify that such a destruction situation was described and was later proved to be false. Since Ace karaoke ended up selling vast amounts of unsold CB material at fire sales, after this supposed destruction was to have taken place. I never believed that CB would destroy any product they could make a buck off of. This wasn't my idea it was an idea floated after the collapse of CB.

That is what is known as HEARSAY.

And if, as you just said, it was proven to be false, then why did you bring it up in the first place??????????

To say with confidence that the REASON for not destroying the product was to inflate DTE pricing though is a guess and potentially libelous.

Chris you know and I know that price is set by the balance of supply and demand. During the Great Depression when people were going hungry, farmers destroyed milk and other food stuffs to keep prices stable. If thousands of CB discs were dumped on the market the effect would be to lower the value of the discs. CB discs that once sold for 15.00 or better are now going for 3.00 a piece.
