Online auctions are a great place to find inexpensive music, if you bid right. I came across a brand new, factory-sealed CD of Sleep Through the Static  by Jack Johnson for a starting bid of less than a buck.  This guy is just plain awesome. All of his albums are consistently awesome, maintaining his signature bluesy feel-good sound while mixing it up and managing to keep it fresh.

I actually saw him deliver an amazing performance in Madrid, Spain, and I quickly saw that Jack is always chill, having said just a few words to the audience, but still maintaining a friendly, uber laid back attitude. He performed with Donovan Frankenreiter who I also suggest you find an auction for.
