    Best of luck to all those who are waiting for the Krauss - I bought my copy years ago for a much higher price

      This is a new site (at least to me) I found a week ago. Unfortunately, while checking out the site over that time prices have increased by at least 15% on a number of previously good bargains. The JEG is the exception being £112 when I first found it. The message is therefore that this price may well not last. It is not worth posting anything else from this site as the prices, although in many instances very competitive, are not bargains in the way that the word is used on this thread.
      I ordered, and got confirmation of details of the box, 9 days ago. Still shown as "on order". Not the quickest at processing and dispatching orders then.

        Anybody care to know who or what "Hive" is?

          I had an e-mail today stating that Amazon were awaiting supplies but no anticipated delivery date was given. I feel sure that our patience will be rewarded.

            A touch of Waiting For Godot about all this:

            ESTRAGON: I can't go on like this.
            VLADIMIR: That's what you think.

            Or to borrow another famous Beckett quote from The Unnameable: 'I can't go, I'll go on.'

                        And , unsurprisingly, the Liszt box didn't ever arrive. Actually, not even the Joe Cocker arrived, despite assurances that something had been dispatched.
                        A refund is in progress, apparently.

                          Looks like. Was that also nicely alphabetically ordered according to composer names?

                                Check your flat again. Perhaps the Joe Cocker set "came in through the bathroom window" unnoticed by you.
