Until Feb. 7 Abeille Musique offered it around EUR 13 or so.  :o But that's history now.

Winter will come around once again, my friend. :D

German postal service doesn't handle international package delivery.  They have subcontracted that to DHL which is independent and not cheap.

I thought DHL is owned by Deutsche Post?

Actually, Abeille turned out to be fairly cheap considering the kind of discounts they were offering. Of course, I didn't bite this time around.

That place looks like it was running going-out-of-business sales - liquidation sales.

They aren't likely to go anywhere now that they have GMG's undivided attention. :D They were probably just enticing us; and if so, they have succeeded admirably!

I do not have any desire to buy anything from them since I only buy from the UK e-tailers, which generally have excellent selections when it comes to early music ...

Bummer. I think they just lost a quarter of their potential customer base. :(

( ;) Just kidding.)

BTW,  BRO offers great prices with dirt-cheap shipping for US buyers.  It provides me excellent opportunities to fill in some of the gaps in my collection, which are often not the most popular selections ...

Yes, true, but then the world gets destroyed in 2012. So, the Abeille Winter sale will probably occur only once more. :(

Abeille was giving free shipping (to the US anyway) if you bought 16 or more items. So from that point of view, also a  big win.

? They operate in many other countries including the USA and Latin America, so they are more like Fedex or UPS than a branch of a national postal service.

Crap. I gave Abeille Musique the wrong address. It's gonna get returned to them.

I don't speak French. What do I do?

Send them an email in English? I seem to remember someone mentioning that they scommunicated with them in English.

The other two alternatives:

- Take a crash course in written French
- moving to the location you submitted

somehow doesn't seem very practical.

Third alternative:
