Bill H. Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Here is the response from Amazon.com (You have to laugh)...............Thank you for contacting Amazon.com.I understand your concern regarding the price of the item "brothers in arms xrcd."I see that it is available from the sellers. When Amazon.com is out ofstock on an item, Amazon Merchants and Marketplace sellers may stillhave the item available for sale, at a price of their choosing. If anitem has become rare or collectible, these sellers may decide on aprice that is significantly higher than the former Amazon.com price orthe original retail price.I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps I should clue these folks in, they are losing a ton of money. Maybe we'll get a cut. http://www.musicdirect.com/product/75458 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill H. Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Please let them know.............It probably won't make any difference, but for me, I feel better after I voice my concerns to any company. I also make a point of letting companies know when they have excellent service or a great product.............! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USNRET Posted January 26, 2009 Author Share Posted January 26, 2009 OK, here's my email to customer service under my account's name, the wife supports them quite a bit. I was shopping on your site and found this CD for $159.00 http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B0013AZTR0/ref=sr_1_olp_21?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1232969322&sr=1-21 Your response when questioned by one of our group on the price was this: quote: Thank you for contacting Amazon.com. I understand your concern regarding the price of the item "brothers in arms xrcd." I see that it is available from the sellers.

End quote I continued to shop at other sites and found it here http://www.musicdirect.com/product/75458 ,in stock for let's just say 'significantly less'; roughly on the order of 400% less. This is not a collector's item. I have enjoyed shopping with Amazon and although at times the price is a little higher, I was comforted by your name and standards. I see I can no longer trust this brand. Thank you for your time, account name here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacksonbart Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 About a $120.00 if you buy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USNRET Posted January 26, 2009 Author Share Posted January 26, 2009 About a $120.00 if you buy it. Neophyte! I'm having it delivered next day so I can get it up on epay for a handsome profit, that's the way rare items are ya know. Don't dis me, I'll sell it to a forum member for only $200 (plus shipping of course). You snooze, ya lose/ I would have thought the 'pimp' would have snagged it already.

thebes Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 First of all, I have several original lps of this Dire Straits I picked up for $1 apiece. Big fan of XRCD and own this one on cd, but the lp blows it away. Just my IMO. Try the XRCD pressings of Willie and Lobo sometime. A very fine format with hundreds of really good releases.t. Kills redbook, and to my ears, better than most SACD, DVD-A. IMO again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USNRET Posted January 27, 2009 Author Share Posted January 27, 2009 I got a response from Amazon...not worth posting, sigh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winchester21 Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 If you maximize the pic of the CD to full screen you can just barely see the images of Elvis and Mother Teresa in the blue background. I just bought it. I am putting it on e bay to pay for a set of k horns and some tube Macs. Of course if anyone here wants first shot at it I will sell it for 10k- Min bid on E-bay will be 12. Cash and Paypal only. High end trades also considered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
