Agreed. An ongoing 25% off discount is a real test for those of us that have overcome our past addictions. So far, I'm sticking to only the Dylan/Band set.
Most are 20% off RRP already and then add on top of that another 25% off. And shipping costs about as much to get from US as it does for the local post office to send across town. Hate it though that quite a few are USA sale only. I'm onto my fourth order already now (got to break them up or else get hit with duty, GST, broker and Biosecurity fees if over NZD$400). I can't wait until this sale ends (goes to end of Oct, I'm guessing?) as each day sends me more into debt!
Ouch! I hope this ends soon. They haven't had a sale like this in a few years. Then they sold mosaic sets.
If they're decent, yes. At Bull Moose, if your order is over $25., and you get free shipping, and each of those items ship separately, they still ship First Class and remain free !!! I personally have never seen an online retailer ask for more $$$ after the sale was final. Amazon will split the shipping cost, if there is any.
Great sale. I needed nothing and told myself I would just check it out - uh oh. I snapped up some great vinyl - CCR, Foo Fighters, Skynryd, SRV and KISS.
Thanks for the heads up on this sale dirtymac, the only bad thing is I'm having the same problem as you. I keep ordering vinyl over and over. And I keep telling myself I'm going to stop, but the prices are crazy!! Especially on the box sets. I made my 4th order today and next week I'll be homeless.
DITTO! "Luckily" most of the boxsets I've tried to add are USA only, or else I think I would have reached my credit card limit in about one order. Have cancelled a lot of Amazon and other pre-orders in favour of this sale. On my fourth order now too!

Please don't! I might see something I might've forgotten and I WILL not place another order. Bright side: I'll get those swell catalogues
If they don't I'll be having strong words with them, as I never asked for them to be shipped separately. And its only a matter of days between the two ship dates. Amazon Ca are great in that respect. Specify ship together and they will usually ship separately as the titles become available, for the same total shipping cost.
So far they haven't charged me for extra shipping. I got one lp by itself early and the others delivered today and they didn't charge me extra so it should be ok
I have the Dylan Basement Tapes (6 disc), McCartney Archive releases and the New deluxe in the cart. Roughly $230 with shipping and Illinois tax. Can't decide whether to take this or hope Amazon pre-order guarantee drops on some of these. I have Prime so they're guaranteed for the Tuesday release. Any chance Collector's Choice will deliver by the release date? I don't any experience with them.
Whenever I'm saving $$$, I can wait. I may grumble a little, but if I'm reminded I'm saving, I'll shut up.
I ordered: Killing Joke- Democracy & XXV Gathering New Monos of The Beatles- Please Please Me, With The Beatles, and Magical Mystery Tour and Metallica- St. Anger. Everything came quickly. This sale better end soon otherwise, I'll have to order more!
Well my copy of Democracy is defective. Some weird brown spot on the white vinyl of side 3. Looks like a chunk of the vinyl is missing or something.
Will do. It came with a return slip so I'll have it in the mail on Monday. It's pretty obvious so I better get a replacement. Everything else arrived and played fine. I listened to all six!
Ok, got my 4 Beatles titles from them yesterday. Broke open the White album and it's flat and sounding really good. Now I just need some time to play the rest. the beave
