Bargains

In for a penny. I have just ordered 10 of 'em. I feel quite sure that I will not get them.

Is that the mega-box, only with the literature only in French?

Bien sûr !

‘Mozart en Francais’ has Shot up by over a hundred quid.

I’m now absolutely certain the deal won’t be honoured.

A lot of people will have had the same idea as Bry, I reckon (and why not?).

However when I looked at am.uk not too long ago I saw a price of under £150 - which was a lot less than I paid for my consignment from (IIRC) jpc.de some time back.

[cloughie]

That was yesterday. The listed price has now dropped to £57.48. I stand to lose £25.30 if I do not cancel and re-order. .

That’ll slash your market barrow profits, bryn!

Though not dispatched as yet, the latest estimated delivery date range given is "Arriving 8 Feb - 2 Apr". So, while the transaction is not yet completed, the outlook is a little more promising. Still not crossing my fingers.

I seem to recall this was the tale with the Strauss box: delivery date set for a month ahead, the. Extended, then cancelled.

Oh, well:where’s the popcorn?

Not sure if this is a bargain or not.

16 CD box of Massenet operas from amazon.de - marketplace sellers have it for around 22 Euros (16 CDs)

https://www.amazon.de/gp/offer-listing/B079851VR7/ref=tmm_other_meta_binding_new_olp_sr?ie=UTF8&condition=new&qid=&sr=

The am.de price is about 33 Euros currently.

... back down to some £60.

'Arriving 12 Feb - 4 April', apparently...

Now, if it does arrive - who should I give my spare copy to?

Scrowaczewski box at a good price on market place.

[Dave2002]

Just spotted this at Presto - seems a good price.

Opéra baroque from Harmonia Mundi. Is this a good box to have?

I saw it at am.de earlier today for around 77 Euros, but this is cheaper for the UK at £50.73 today. I'm not sure whether the additional postage for the box will push the price up above other competitive prices - but probably won't.

Scrowaczewski box at a good price on market place.

An exceptional bargain, I paid a lot more a year or two ago.

The bargains have been bought and are no longer available - in all likelihood by forum members who saw your post. Sit back and wait for them to thank you for the heads up?

Yes. Very good indeed.

[Dave2002]

The set of Kathleen Battle Sony recordings might be good at am.de for around 19 Euros - though I don't know if the postage will make it uncompetitive. It might be available more cheaply from marketplace sellers - the same comments re postage could apply. https://www.amazon.de/s/ref=nb_sb_no...en+Battle+SOny However it's not too much more expensive at am.uk

It's also here at Presto - https://www.prestomusic.com/classica...ony-recordings

I was unsure of this, but sampling some of the recordings on Qobuz suggests that it could be a good buy for anyone who likes beautiful singing - though some might find the singer's wobble a bit offputting over time.

[Bryn]

Yes. Very good indeed.

Seconded. Just as long as the genre itself is for you, as it is for me.
