So I pre-ordered a CD from amazon.uk this weekend.

Posted by CovingtonCat Feb 15 '10, 15:06

With shipping it will cost me less than $17. Just checked amazon.com. They added the CD as an import today - for $12 more than I'm paying. Of course, I have to hope the dollar doesn't fluctuate the wrong way in the next 2 weeks. Still, it seems amazon.com makes a lot of money on imports.

Responses:

the whole concept of import CDs in a digital world just seems completely backwards. -- nm - Reagen Feb 15, 15:11 4
- I agree but a lot of it has to do with different kind of contracts in different markets...Like Slash's Paradise City single remake... - Remlik Feb 15, 15:22
- i remember them always being insanely expensive, but can't figure out why they'd exist except as collector's items anymore. -- nm - TFox Feb 15, 15:12 2
  - Oh, is that what I am? A "collector"? - CovingtonCat Feb 15, 15:29
  - different record labels handle artists in different countries. resulting in different albums in those countries -- nm - poochinski Feb 15, 15:23
Order 10, resell them on Amazon.com marketplace. -- nm - Mop (228 lbs) Feb 15, 15:07 2
- My luck I'll be stuck with 10 CDs. -- nm - CovingtonCat Feb 15, 15:09 1
  - *nodding* (that wouldn't take luck, that would just be "the shit that was bound to happen".) -- nm - TFox Feb 15, 15:09
