It was in that email for a few days ago.

Weird, the one time I don't get a Udiscover email...the time I would have opened it.

Between oldies and SOV it may be time to head to IKEA again, and a random Crateism box showed up today.

What was in the box?

Club Nouveau and Tink? (Daughter kept)
Sent tracking on another package as well so crossing my fingers

Waiting patiently for a site to have Herbie Hancock's The New Standard Verve By Request go on sale for a decent price while trying to avoid all these other deals. I successfully skipped the Oldies.com shenanigans but the SOV "free" records got me with the Sonny Rollins and Tom Petty Full Moon Fever. Only $25 shipping!

I really want it, but not $60+ Canadian dollars want it!

Yeah, that's why I got my fingers crossed for a UMe Black Friday sale or something similar to come along in the next week or so. While it was not part of their "free" record sale, SOV does have it listed for about $39 US which is... better but I'm still hoping to save a few more bucks.

I’ve been thinking about this “$0 records, exorbitant shipping” affair. I’m no tax expert, but I think SOV is basically trying to dodge taxes (and minimize losses) by stating that they’re not making any money from selling those records, and instead are only recouping shipping costs. It works for us, I guess, but it feels a bit shady.

Could it also be a way of avoiding paying royalties since they're "giving away" the records?

 

[djdavedk]

The labels pay the royalties, right? Not the reatailer.

Ornette box at $115 is a pretty good deal too

They must have pressed a million of those…might bite if it gets under $100 this holiday season. It’s getting close

Was just a lot of Ornette pressed at the same time! the BN and the craft box. Craft box has gone down to $40.

The problem with reducing price on everything is that not many feel the need to buy stuff at full price anymore...I've massively slowed down on my TP and BN Classic purchases because most drop to $25 or less and under $20 for the BNCs.

That Sonny Craft box is nice, especially for that blow out price. I really like the actual box it came in.

Yea--the Ornette craft box is real nice too. I like how slim they are. Not a lot of fluff in it like those pesky MoFi One Step boxes or UHQRs.

I don’t think I’ve bought a full priced new release in two years. I just can’t bring myself to do it.
