checking Ebay, there's a seller that has 4 box sets available for $120 each, plus $4 US shipping:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/BEACH-BOYS-Smile-DELUXE-Storefront-box-5-CDS-2-LPs-book-and-singles-/320797779237?pt=Music_on_Vinyl&hash=item4ab109a525
Kind of sad that this release isn't three weeks old, and this seller (apparently an independent record seller) is so convinced he'll never sell these profitably that he says he's selling them for a loss.
I don't doubt that he is losing money at this price, but I wonder if he's being a bit hasty. This is a special release, and I'd be willing to bet that at some point in the near future, he may regret treating it as a "fire" (gratuitous Smile reference) sale item after only 18 days. It wouldn't surprise if the box goes out of print relatively quickly (perhaps to be replaced with a CD-only box without such elaborate packaging).
Of course, we don't know how many he ordered or how big his shop/ how large a balance he can carry as a potential loss.
Interesting to me that when I first saw the listing and posted it here, he was asking $120, and now he's down to $115. Might be worth waiting to see if he'll keep lowering the price...

I would at least wait until after the Holiday season. A lot of people that couldn't afford it on release day are hoping to find SMiLE under their Christmas tree.

Last weekend at the Utrecht CD/Record Fair (Netherlands) FAME Records sold these boxes for € 109,- a piece. I would have bought right away if I it wasn't for the fact that I ordered one, which is still on it's way from the U.S. to Europe.... (waiting for over 3 weeks now
)

Rule of thumb, think BEFORE you post. And THINK how it may affect someone else's feelings.
Check out the
Beach Boys Starline
website, the place for pictures of many countries Beach Boys releases on 45.

I wonder what prices for these will jump to once they're deleted. Bearing in mind the silly money that the Steve Hoffman Pet Sounds vinyl now goes for, these Smile boxes could be quite an investment.

One would hope this stays in print for a long while. At least until it's replaced with something similar.
