So I bought CDs in broken cases and she threw away perfectly good cases and presumably paid the waste company to take them as trade waste.
Anyone see the logic in this?
How much was she charging per CD? Some charity shops ask £1.50 for 3 CDs, that is 50p each. If the charity shop you visited was asking the same, then I would have bought all 8, and put three of the CDs and their artwork into the undamaged cases.

Having said that empty replacement CD cases are not expensive to buy. https://www.amazon.co.uk/25-DVD-Sing...85632273&psc=1
