There are actually HUGE DEALS at the moment on different Marketplaces, on Sony Sets.

Full list here with different links :

Might be a pricing mistake but worth a try...

Yes, that is definitely a bargain hunter's happy place!   >:D :'(   Thanks Cosi!!!!
Fantastic deals!

This can only mean that Sony is about to release all their recordings in one, single gigabox, superseeding all these sets.

These deals are all from the same 3 marketplace sellers, so I suspect an error.

They are the same company with different names.  I'm hopeful :) Got a few from them before at £14.50, seems to be their specific discount price.  It's not across every product but is across a number of Amazon sites.  If it doesn't come off, I've wasted a couple of hours of searching and saved a fair bit of cash!!

They have also discounted vinyl for those interested...

Went for the new Tebaldi at 90€ here:

(and cancelled my order at .de, where the box will be out a few days earlier but costs 100€)

Will skip those Wagner boxes ... haven't even started listening to Wanger yet there some boxes and plenty of single issues are awaiting ... one of 'em the Janowski Ring, which was pretty cheap a while ago (might still be), so I definitely don't need the "Great Operas" set.

Almost everything is gone except a few still available with Dodax or Nagiry, on Fnac.com :

It might also be a good sign that a few of these offers still stand today. I mean, if it was a mistake, they would have stopped selling, at least, even before canceling orders, wouldn't they ?
Fingers crossed...

Yes lets keep our fingers crossed. I am looking quite forward to them actually and many with me.

As expected, they always worm their way out of mistakes. I am waiting on my cancellation for the three items I ordered.

As I said, there was really no hope this could be true... Still, the fact that these sellers don't even write a more appropriate message, and acknowledge their mistake is, I think, quite insulting.

I hope everyone will put an appropriate evaluation for each one of all these orders.

I still haven't received any message yet...

The new erato

They are sure to have made certain this is an unanswerable mail adress. As Harry says, they always find something to blame when they make a mistake. I wouldn't mind them screwing up occasionally if they admitted it. Anybody here ordered the Bream set and get it?

Unfortunately I had not a chance to order the Bream, it was already sold out?
Anyways I still have the 3 ordered items out. The Perahia is in the stadium of "will arrived within 3 days", but I very much doubt that.

The Abbado Sony set is preparing to dispatch (although I expect it to get terminated today)...

I ordered this via Amazon UK MP "zoreno-uk" as the other two companies were dropping it off their listings.  For some reason, it stayed on zoreno-uk for a while.  The Zinman symphonic set didn't stay up long, but I may have a chance with the Sony Abbado but not holding my breath.  I can't complain as I got the DG Abbado 50 odd set for £13 last month from Marvelio-UK...they did honour and deliver, next day it went up to the £60 mark.

This bit sound promising? LOL
We've started preparing your parcel. This process can take some time but doesn't change the delivery date. We'll send you an e-mail when your order has dispatched. You can still request cancellation if you've changed your mind.
