this is a great deal
I nabbed it last time from amazon.fr and it cost me $48.50 and a $1.46 foreign transaction fee.
“the hurting” however if you didn’t get one, is very very hard to find now. I got one from australia for about $77 USD and they had to charge me another $15 for shipping later. These could have been obtained from ebay.ca and after Canadian exchange it was like $53 shipped a few months ago.
… and at 11:40 it’s up to EUR 56. Why the yo-yo?
P.S. Mine arrived from France and it’s even better than expected !
back to 42.37 EUR
Thank you. Ordered.
Same position as Chris Lancaster! Waited for it to go under £30 and this is just the bargain of the year as far as I’m concerned…thanks for the alert Paul :-)
Great stuff, thanks Paul. Picked up for just over €33, which converted to £28.50 when including postage to the UK. I’d been waiting to find it for under £30 before buying, so rather chuffed with this.
Bought this at £28 though had to get it posted to France to get free postage. Could not find a free postage to UK.
I accidentally ordered it as I was confused in translation – my wife was a little more understanding than usual.
P.S. A few questions to the knowledgeable:
1. Is there a free postage option to the UK on these offers?
2. I assume that the booklets are in English?
Cheers
Cheers
No free postage to the UK, but it’s normally very reasonable. YES booklets in English etc.
Thank you – and keep up the good work, it’s much appreciated !
Thanks Paul for the alert. It is CAD$133 on Amazon.ca. Got it for CAD$54.
Huge huge savings. Why is there such a great disparity in prices across the various Amazon sites?
Appreciate very greatly your endeavours.
You’re welcome. God knows about the disparity.. it’s crazy really. Sometimes Europe is cheaper, sometimes US/Canada. It’s a bit random.
Finally snagged this for a decent price, cheers
Distinct lack of tat though! Where’s my Tears For Fears nail polish remover & lint roller?
Mine arrived today from Amazon France, despite only ordering it on Thursday afternoon. It’s a seriously nice package you’ve helped to put together there Mr Sinclair, Bravo sir!
Thanks Dominic – always great to hear nice feedback :)
Actually just ordered The Hurting Super Deluxe set from The Music Shop (Australia) as they seem to be the only place in the universe showing this in stock. Currently 79.99 AUD; obviously distance, exchange rates, and dwindling supply will factor into your decision. I’m also writing off the DVD, which likely won’t even play in Region 1. I’ll update status and let you know if this is an error.
DVD is region free, so should play on every machine.
A price tracker would no doubt be a useful addition to the site, but TBH there are loads of them out there already…
Thanks for the info about The Hurting box set, I’d better be quick! This year is proving to be costly already, as I want to catch up on XTC SDE editions amongst many others.
Bought it last week on the FNAC.com website for 27 €! :-)
(and I guess that’s the reason why Amazon.fr decided to lower the price too).
On the other hand, I can’t seem to find The Hurting Deluxe boxset anywhere for a decent price. Does anybody know if it’s still available or out of stock already?
Thanks
Yeah, The Hurting is quite hard to get hold of now at a reasonable price. I think it’s either out of print or on the verge of being out of print.
Count me in (for the deal alert newsletter) !! :)
I’m hoping to pick up the hurting box set a bit cheaper but my immediate priority is simple minds sparkle in the rain deluxe
Yeah Simple Minds has held solid with virtually no price movement…
any chance of subscribing to an optional email alerts for these deals please?
Have thought about doing that… anyone else like the idea?
I’d love that, but my wife wouldn’t! LOL ;-)
Good idea, even if my bank balance doesn’t like the idea.
Count me in!
Great idea Paul regarding the deal alerts. Don’t you issue them through Twitter at the moment? I’m sure I’ve seen some tweets.
Yes I do normally tweet about them too.
This is why I love this site. Bought this immediately. Best price so far. I was waiting for a deal like this and took a chance that it would go out of print and sky rocket in price. I check in three times a day for opportunities like this and much more. Thank you!
60 euro now (£43).
Who cares? It’s shit! Lol
And so is your Mum!
is it back to 60 euro?
Hi Paul any news on Seeds?
I had hoped it was worth waiting, so thanks for the info!
This set was already well priced to be fair but it seems to me that unless the big box sets are limited runs (e.g. Inside the Pleasuredome), there is a lot to be said for sitting and waiting a few months….having spent forty years obsessively buying on release day, not sure I can be patient enough but it would make financial sense…
Thanks! This box has been on my to-get list for a while. This was the kick in the pants I needed to order it.
$41.72 USD/£27.21 GBP/€37.46 EUR including shipping to the USA. That’s a savings of $35.89 off the Amazon US price of $77.61 USD. Fantastic!
