Sparkle in the Rain box for silly price on uDiscover!

I was tempted to get this until i noticed the postage was £7.
I finally pulled the trigger on the Simple Minds box, after months of procrastination. It was only after I had paid that I remembered the whole issue with the DVD-A disc!
Anyway, I was stunned when, after ordering it yesterday morning (25/11) at 9.30am, it arrived this morning! I only paid for regular shipping too!
Upon opening, I verified the matrix codes on the DVD and am happy to report that the disc is the corrected version, as is the booklet :-)
… And iirc Elvis was £65.
Slade was £75 – all claimed eventually but percentage was going up and down between 40% and 60% for ages.
Can anyone tell me what the deal price of Slade, a-ha, Elvis and The Who was? I didn’t have internet access when those deals were live, unfortunately. Thanks.
Slade was £74.99 and IIRC Elvis was @£80 so neither were anything special. Alright if you planned to buy anyway but wouldn’t sway a fencesitter.
£75 for Slade is good, is it not?
I look at the percentages so 40%+ is where I start getting interested. Some of the DVD sets in these Lightning Deals have been 50/60% off so 25% didn’t strike me as that great. As I said if you were gonna buy it anyway then happy days but those who aren’t that sure might’ve been swayed by a more generous discount.
Fair enough, but when you consider that Slade has literally only just come out, I think 25%+ is a decent discount. 40% – 50% on stuff like Nirvana’s Nevermind SDE is more appropriate, because that seems ANCIENT now :)
Thanks for the Paul Simon and the S & G tips.
Think I might hold off for a day two!
The Simon and Garfunkel box was / maybe still is £22 at my local HMV last week in Leeds.
It’s cheaper to buy that Simon & Garfunkel box set on the Amazon marketplace and what’s up with that Simple Minds box set ??
My apologies! Not sure what happened in my first post!
The Simon & Garfunkel Complete Albums boxset is £20.19 at Base.com
I can’t find any mention of a Simon and Garfunkel deal anywhere – can anyone direct me to it please?
What are you talking about? The link is in the post. £25 is a great price although it’s not an official ‘Black Friday’ deal, it is definitely worth highlighting.
You can actually buy it for £19.99 from other sellers.
Paul Simon complete collection has been £29.99 on Amazon for weeks now.
Do you mind telling me where it was at £19.99?
It’s £25 on Amazon now, which is the cheapest it’s been on the ‘proper’ site I think..
Thanks again but, at 22.10, seems I missed it!
It`s even cheaper AT THIS MOMENT £21.25 inc. P&P at Amazon marketplace.
Hi I can’t seem to find any info about the Simplicity n and Garfunkel set being included in pending deals……can you help?
Also do you think the Paul Simon complete set might turn up this week?
Thanks!
That Simple Minds set is no longer at that price perhaps because of that warning about it not being as described.
