Amazon are still advertising this set at £11.99 and it looks to be back in stock again. To those who have ordered this set I'd urge you to be patient and wait because I'm sure it will arrive. I've had no further e-mail from Amazon since the one acknowledging my order (made on Sept 24) and saying delivery estimated to be October 15 - 18. I'll report here when it arrives.

Quite so. And a relevant part of the Marketplace Participation Agreement of 29/8/13 reads as follows:
>
6. Amazon's Role Buyers authorize Amazon to act as their limited representative solely to conclude on their behalf sales contracts directly between them and the sellers for sales of goods via the Service. While Amazon helps facilitate transactions that are carried out using the Service, Amazon is neither the buyer nor the seller of the seller's items. Amazon is not an auctioneer. Amazon provides a venue for sellers and buyers to negotiate and complete transactions in accordance with the provisions of this Participation Agreement. Amazon is not the agent of the seller. Accordingly, the contract formed at the completion of a Fixed Price Sale is solely between buyer and seller. Subject to any assignment under clause B.6.3, the enforcement of any contractual obligations arising out of the completion of a transaction using the Service is the responsibility of the buyer and seller that are party to that transaction. Amazon is not obliged to mediate between buyers and sellers or enforce or execute fulfilment of any contract. Because Amazon wants you to have a safer buying experience, Amazon provides the Amazon A-z Guarantee in clause C.1 below, but otherwise buyers and sellers use the Site and the Service at their own risk. Subject to the terms of this Participation Agreement, the seller will resolve any subsequent dispute directly with the buyer, or under the Amazon A-z Guarantee described in clause C.1.7.

Curiouser and curiouser. My amazon.co.uk account still shows the Liszt set as having been "Dispatched". Would that be to me, or to the waste bin?

Fingers crossed. I was sure that if it became available again the price would be higher and more in line with what other Amazon shops are charging. 90 Euros at Amazon fr with supplies "en rupture" - sounds painful ..as does the asking price.

Me too.

It was a "genuine error", or in simpler English an "error".....

I gave them 2 stars rather than 1 for this reason and my feedback was factual rather than angry.

If it was a small seller for whom a single rating makes a big difference (I'm one myself) then I'd change it. As it is, I don't plan to.

The Krauss Ring listing is now back to s/h sellers only. It was displaying '£11.99 dispatched within 11 days' a few days back. I still have estimated delivery for the 26th. I'll hold on. Perhaps I'll prove David Hume wrong. All the known laws of Amazon physics will suddenly cease to function as normal and work in my favour. Perhaps if I believe enough, miracles can happen.

I've had no further e-mail from Amazon since the acknowledgement of my order and with an estimated delivery date of Oct 15 - 18. Obviously, we are there already and no sign of a further e-mail. I still feel hopeful.
