CDWOW now have the 2CD set at £9.34 if you make another preorder at the same time

Well, we are heading into Biblical times now. Only 40 days and 40 nights to go.

Amazn Germany wants me so badly to buy TSS from them that they sent me an email with lowered prices :

Box 121,42 Euros = $164,46 = £106,36
2CD 20,99 Euros = $28,43 = £18,37
1CD 13,99 Euros = $18,95 = £12,27
2LP 27,38 Euros = $37,08 = £23,99

Can't be sold out, can it?

NOTE TO fellow EUROPEANS:
Now that Amazon.CA has brought the price down, the boxset will cost us 90€ including express shipping.
Even adding possible custom taxes, this seems still to be the cheapest option!

Can't find a way though of getting the import taxes paid in advance, like .com does.  Any advice anyone?

Interestingly, the box is cheaper on German amazon, while the 2CD and 2LP are cheaper on French amazon. Strange price politics.

Barnes & Noble is now listing the box set on their site.  They have it priced at $128.24 with a list price of $149.99.

Yup. I really have no idea how they come up with such prices... But I'm keeping my $110 boxset on Amazon.com anyway 

[The Shift]

Amazons UK and Com are now each listing two box sets at differing prices with different serial numbers. One on .uk is listed as an import but there's no such distinction with the .com sites.  Hope this all becomes clearer…

[hypehat]

Also worrying is that the non-import one you mention (and the one I ordered), is still sold out!

Interesting.   

Also worth noting that Amazon.com is finally listing the 1CD.  It's an "import" priced at $25.51.  Even factoring in shipping, that's about $5 more than Amazon UK.

Dropped down again to $133.38 on amazon.com

[guitarfool2002]

What is the going rate for a French amazon these days?

(...ducks for cover...)

[Sam_BFC]

Why isn't the UK price changing at all 

At least it is now available on Amazon again now though.

[Sam_BFC]

There is also this curious item

[Iron Horse-Apples]

Well, I was going to cancel my US order and get from Amazon.UK. However, I've worked out that after import tax and shipping it's still only going to cost me £107

However, I won't get it till December probably!

So, I'm going to buy the 2cd from HMV on the release date. There is something about actually walking into a shop and buying SMiLE. A dream come true for me. And I'll still be quids in.

Although I could walk out of HMV with the boxset for £123. Oh, what to do!

I'm presuming Amazon won't take my money till Nov 1st, so, if I break, and buy the boxset from HMV, I'll still have time to cancel the order.

I'm thinking that a snap decision will have to be made on the 31st, when faced with the actual, physical boxset.

My dream of walking into a shop and buying SMiLE never factored in multiple formats and online orders.

Dropped down again to $133.38 on amazon.com

I read this after returning from a weekend away from home.  I went to check my order status to see if the adjustment had been made to my bill.  I checked my account and was horrified to see a message saying that no orders had been found!  I pulled up my confirmation email and clicked on the order number link that they provide and again, no orders found!!  I was just about to lose it and scream and punch the computer when I noticed a small tab that said "open orders".  I clicked on it and there was my order with the new price.

Did they change something at Amazon?  Before, as soon as I clicked on my account history and track orders, my SMiLE order popped up on the first screen.  Anyways, just wanted to let you all know in case anyone had the same issue and thought their order had been lost.  Maybe I'm the only one stupid enough to do that.  It scared the sh*t out of me!!

Hah  I had the same 5 seconds of panic, before i noticed it automatically comes up with orders made in the past 30 days.

Yeah, that's ridiculous as the list price (according to Barnes & Noble) is $149.99.
