Cheapo is a music , although retailers such as Sam Goody and Best Buy , as well as smaller independent music stores like the Electric Fetus , also compete in the market to varying extents. Used discs purchased by Cheapo first go into unsorted racks—one for each day of the week—before being sorted and placed into the general collection. Customers looking for the best deals spend much of their time flipping through those seven racks, producing a distinctive "click-click-click" sound as they go along. A typical store is quite spartan, the building merely a warehouse or unfinished retail space with waist-high wooden racks of discs; larger stores are carpeted. There are usually a few Listening Station s for trying out discs. Stores may also feature an area of "top ten" selections for a regional Radio Station . Cheapo keeps prices cheap by keeping overhead low: stores are sparsely decorated, no computer inventory or barcode systems are used, and used music makes up a large percentage of the selection. The company produced vibrant and humorous Television Advertisement s in the 1990s . Around 2004 , ads called the company "the last authentic music store." LOCATIONS Minnesota
