CD Universe: $10 off $30 via Google, expiry 10/31

A good deal returns.

The Google Checkout button appears when you're ready to check out.

 

I just learned that this offer can be used more than once. From the Google Checkout FAQ:

 

This Google Checkout discount also works at Buy.com and often with free shipping. I have used it twice there on $30 purchases and free shipping.

Prices are better at buy.com, IF they have the cd in stock. You can't get pre-orders or out-of-stock items. Also, buy doesn't charge shipping on cd orders over $25.

 

Prices are much better at buy.com

 

Buy.com used to charge a flat "handling" fee. It is not charging that now but just raised prices on many items overnight. California residents also have to pay sales tax.

 

They sure did raise prices. I checked some items I just recently purchased. This is extremely rare, prices on things usually go down right after I buy them.

I just got some blank Taiyo Yuden DVD-R discs for $0.17 each (shipped) from www.shop4tech.com thanks to googlecheckout

 

I think buy.com raised the price on every CD by $0.95 sometime between last night and this morning.

 

I checked several and that is exactly the amount above the price I paid within the last few days. CD/SACD/DVD-A single disc and box set all went up that amount.

Chris

 

Chris,

Were you charged the handling fee?

 

No and no tax and no shipping. I went back three times and used Google Checkout for some titles I really wanted.

I have been trying to find dual layer DVD media and that site has Matrix DVD+R for the best price I could find but I don't know anything about the media. All I have ever used is various brands of DVD-R 4.7 GB media. Does anybody know anything about those dual layer blanks?

Chris

 

At what time does the deal end today?

 

I just (5 minutes ago) put another order in at CD Universe and it worked fine for me.

 

I have burned several brands of Dual Layer blanks. Only use the kind by Verbatim. The Memorex, Fuji, et. al give different players fits.

 

Oh boy, thanks but I already ordered them. I was afraid to do so but with the expiration of the $10 discount, I took a chance. Oh well, 25 matching coasters will be good for a laugh.

Chris

 

Well, you might get some usable ones out of there, report back and let us know!

FWIW, here are the best kind to get. With the google discount, they'll only be $1.69ea.

Wish I had waited and gotten that deal today. I didn't know what media to get or that the Google discount would be extended. Verbatim sounds like a better risk without even hearing from users, so I don't know what I was thinking. Who knows, maybe the media is made at the same place since I don't know how many manufacturers of blank dual layer media exist.

buy.com is still running the $10 off $30 purchase.

 

Sam,

Thanks for the update. The Google Checkout banner was not on buy.com when I checked this morning.

 

Maybe the title of the thread can be updated with buy.com and the new expiration date appended.

 

Buy.com is still offering the $10 off $30 offer. They've raised prices on their CDs by 10%, but there are still some great deals to be had. A lot of the old Sony SACDs are now back in stock - I just picked up a ton of hi-rez:

James Taylor - Hourglass SACD
Carole King - Tapestry SACD
SRV - Texas Flood SACD
Al Di Meola, Mclaughlin, de lucia - Friday Night In SF SACD
Neil Young - Harvest DVD-A
Santana - Abraxas SACD

for ~$13 each after S&H & tax

Also got the Another Stoney Evening DVD-A, The Band - Music From Big Pink DVD-A, the Neil Young Live At The Fillmore CD/DVD & Steve's Marley Young Mystic SACD.

 

Thanks, Saatvik! Do ya know how long the $10 off offer will last this time?
