They occasionally have them in their "bargain" section. I've seen them
at Sam's Club, too - they'll sometimes stuff CD's in generic cardboard
longboxes so that they can stuff a whole ton of them in a bin up front.
And they always seem to pop up around Christmas when the stores open up
their box of unsold Christmas CD's from the previous year. There's a
store near me that I swear has put out the same longbox disc (I think
it's Amy Grant or someone along those lines) every year for the last six
years.

I think I just jammed mine in my closet, figuring they might have some
"value". Hmm, I bet they're still at my parents' house. Might be time
to test that "value" theory.
Longbox memories: I always loved it when they shrinkwrapped the CD
inside the longbox, which itself was shrinkwrapped. God, I love
shrinkwrap.
