The Super-Duper Cheap Bargains Thread

[Maciek]

These stupid bastards will ship to Roumania (as an EU country) but not to Norway.

I very much doubt they will. Amazon payments does not cover any of the "new" EU countries.

Countries Covered

So far, Marketplace items can only be purchased by buyers in these countries:
UK: England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales
Europe: Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland
US: including US protectorates
Rest of World: Australia, Brazil, Canada, Hong Kong, Iceland, Japan, Norway, Republic of Korea, Mexico, New Zealand, South Africa

What makes it especially ridiculous, is that people living in countries such as Poland (or Lithuania, or Colombia, or China) can sell on amazon marketplace, they just can't buy anything.

Until you put it in the basket and the delivery adress is Norway, and the order is refused. These stupid bastards will ship to Roumania (as an EU country) but not to Norway. I can practically see their stupid little island across the North Sea from my window in Bergen!

Probably that's the problem! I mean some medieval bad memories.

I picked this up for £50 on Amazon a few months ago, and at this price it remains a bargain. Some of the productions are a little wooly, but they have great integrity.

[Orpheus]

Orpheus, what was the price for that set on the AMP?

Too late Antoine...it was 24 pounds...

[Antoine Marchand]

Too late Antoine...it was 24 pounds...

... ooops. Anyway, I can't buy on the AMP from Chile. Too bad! 

P.S.: Well, I own that box set, so it is not a big disappointment.

I'll go fetch some chaps and ravage them again.

You're right, Harry. It seemed very very good... But I didn't read the description of the seller. I am not an experienced AMP buyer...

Orpheus 

Wow, that link was up for only ten minutes and the price is already 70 euros.

[The new erato]

What was the price?

Not that I'm interested, I already have the Kodaly and Buchberger complete cycles, all the Mosaiques discs as well as a few Festetics sets......

BTW; the Koopman organ set on amazon.com already is back to $67.

[Brian]

Amazon UK appears to be having a blowout sale! The massive, legendary (round these parts) Works of Igor Stravinsky 22CD box is tempting me at 18 quid, the Alban Berg Quartet Beethoven cycle is similarly teasing at 17, and Emil Gilels' EMI Icon Box (9 CDs) is about the same price, containing the Beethoven concerti with Szell/Cleveland, the Tchaikovsky concerti, and a couple other bits and bobs.
