Bargains

[cloughie]

What sort of algorithm would set a price at one-fifth of the market price?

Only work if there was another offered at the same low price by another marketplace seller.

Talking about Giulini there are a couple of interesting boxes from Warner:

The London Years (17 CDs for around £20 from the Marketplace: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Carlo-Maria-...ywords=giulini

The Chicago Years (4 CDs for around £10): http://www.amazon.co.uk/Carlo-Maria-...iulini+chicago

Thanks for the Giulini suggestions. London years looks like a bargain!

Apols if anyone has posted already but there's a freebie LSO mp3 sampler on amazon this week - http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00H457G5G

I've just realised that all the ~£20 Marketplace offers are from Canada and the USA, so the final cost of those could be well in excess of the Amazon price if the Royal Mail charges you for VAT and handling.

Shouldn't do for that price. Think all stuff from amazon UK is exempt otherwise there would be warnings etc.

Do you want to test it? I think Johnb is right!

The limit for exemption is £15, beyond that it all depends whether Royal Mail picks up on the import.

Surprise surprise! I have just heard that the Large RCO Legacy box I ordered at £85 has been cancelled because 'the price wasn't set by the seller correctly'. They listed batches of this set on four separate occasions at this price (give or take a few pence), so what was going on.....incompetence, disgruntled employee...?

Doesn't the sale of goods act (or whatever it's called) say that an item has to be sold at the price marked, even if it's wrong?

I thought the price marked was just an invitation to make an offer at that figure, which can be declined.

I bought that, used, for about $30, plus shipping. I agree, it's more Haydn than I really want, but it's always enjoyable to dip into.

Thank you so much for this link....I had never heard of e-classical before. It appears to be a Swedish company - their website and search engine is very good indeed and from what I can see, so are the prices. I would suggest readers go and check it out - I've just snapped up the Brautigam complete Mozart and Haydn boxes very cheaply.

PS....as an example, a latest BIS release is under $9. Sounds too good to be true!

It was...idiot that I am, I thought I was buying real CDs, not downloads!!!! That'll teach me to read things properly before getting carried away!!
