Amazon AU price watch thread...

Picked this up for $12.74...now $55.63!!

 

Gotta love that Al Gore Rhythm.

 

Amazon AU will soon have a warehouse full of 1 x ridiculously overpriced copy of every album.

 

Yes, I wonder what they do when they get down to 1 copy? Do they order more in or just get rid of it? I guess it's also all computerised so if it's set up to order more stock when they get below a certain number, it will happen, even if the last few copies sold for less than wholesale!

 

It's strange, some albums say "Only 1 left in stock (more on the way)" but never seem to restock, while others don't have the text in brackets. Has anyone seen examples where single copies have been restocked & then drop back down to cheap prices?

 

I tried to get some of The Kinks deluxe sets from Amazon a couple of years ago - they were in stock but cheap and in low numbers when I ordered, and then they couldn't fulfill my order as they didn't know when they were getting more stock. But I managed to get some of them cheap about a year later so they did eventually restock. Or maybe they found another box on a shelf!
