Welcome to ORBIT MUSIC

EXPERIENCE Back in 1989, two entrepreneurs, both with the same last name but sporting two completely different hair styles, decided to leave the lucrative profession of donut manufacturing and pursue their ambitious dream of opening a record store. This decision was met with a mixed reaction. Some laughed at them. Others scoffed. Then there were those that laughed and scoffed, some while rubbing their tummies and patting their heads at the same time. But it didn`t matter, these two men took their dream and a hefty bank loan and turned it into Orbit Music, a store that offered an alternative to the move `em in, ring `em up and get `em out approach utilized at the mega-chain music stores that populated the area. "Out of this world selection at down to earth prices" was Orbit Music`s catchy advertising slogan and that`s exactly what they had to offer: Lots to choose from and low prices so the customer could afford to buy more. INNOVATION This formula for success worked and now Orbit Music survives and thrives in the northwestern corner of Indiana, just a stone`s throw away from Chicago. (If it`s a really small stone and a really, really, really strong person is throwing it.) A major part of the success is due to Orbit Music`s foresight to venture into the emerging business of buying, trading and selling used music. Used records stores had been operating with various levels of success for years, offering music lovers and collectors the chance to save money by purchasing "previously owned" albums and a reduced price, but now with the advent of Compact Discs there was added incentive to buy used and save... SATISFACTION You see, the sound of a record could be affected by the wear from repeated playing or being used as a Frisbee by rambunctious children who suddenly realized that Daddy`s rare Thelonious Monk records could fly! A compact disc, on the other hand, can be played an indefinite amount of times without it effecting the sound one iota. CDs are also more durable and can withstand more abuse than your standard vinyl long player, although I wouldn`t recommend using it as a Frisbee. No, CDs are not indestructible as once believed, that`s why Orbit Music is choosier than a mother choosing Jif when they purchase used discs for resale. Orbit Music buys, trades and sells quality used compact discs. That doesn`t refer to the music on the disc. It refers to the condition of the disc itself. If someone used it as a replacement puck for an air hockey tournament, you won`t find it at Orbit, because Orbit won`t buy it. As an added safeguard, Orbit Music guarantees it`s used. It should play right, but if it doesn`t, it can be exchanged within 30 days. CONVENIENCE And now Orbit Music offers the convenience of shopping for used CDs on the Internet from the privacy of you own home. That`s right, you don`t even have to leave the chair in front of your computer. You don`t even have to wear pants if you don`t want to. You`ll have thousands of titles to choose from because it`ll be like shopping at both stores at once! Orbit Music`s entire selection of used compact discs will be at your fingertips and mouse. See something you want? Point and click right away because now that Orbit`s an on-line store, the hot titles will go like hot cakes. Don`t see the title you want? Come back again tomorrow.
