micha Posted December 12, 2003 Report Posted December 12, 2003 In case anyone is interested.. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?id...1&type=category About 25 to choose from, mostly RVG's. I added everything I didn't have already and upgraded a few others. Free shipping too. So much for my silly attempt not to spend any more money for the month. Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted December 12, 2003 Report Posted December 12, 2003 Lord, $6 a CD, and free shipping too????? How the hell can they do that??? It's not like they're selling these to "get people in the door" - unless it's on the theory that they'll surf around the rest of the Best Buy site, and buy some big-ticket items. Really, I absolutely do not get this. Vibes??? Quote
John B Posted December 12, 2003 Report Posted December 12, 2003 Interested??!? That is an understatement. Thanks for the heads up! I'm picking up six that I don't own. Likewise, this blows my cd buying moratorium. Oh well, I guess that will start tomorrow. Quote
Chrome Posted December 12, 2003 Report Posted December 12, 2003 THANKS!!!! That's a "thumbs up" for each CD I just ordered: Point of Departure Idle Moments Out to Lunch Wizard of the Vibes Quote

Really, I absolutely do not get this. Vibes??? Rooster, you've got the right idea. The idea is that we'll make money off of other purchases that people make on the site. The free shipping aspect of the website is simply in keeping with what other large online retailers are doing. I wouldn't expect it to last forever. Personally, I feel like we're throwing away a lot of money on free shipping, but then, it's not my call. Quote
John B Posted December 12, 2003 Report Posted December 12, 2003 That makes sense to me. Once you've gotten someone to create an account on BestBuy.com they are probably much more likely to return and buy other non-sale goods. Any chance you can get them to add some of the more recent RVGs to the sale? Quote
wesbed Posted December 12, 2003 Report Posted December 12, 2003 Not fair! I already own all the listed RVGs. Quote
Alexander Posted December 12, 2003 Report Posted December 12, 2003 Not only do I own all of the listed RVGs, I own all of the albums listed there as well (well, not the Kenton, but I don't want the Kenton...)! Quote
Johnny E Posted December 12, 2003 Report Posted December 12, 2003 I own all of the albums listed there as well (well, not the Kenton, but I don't want the Kenton...)! Quote
Leeway Posted December 13, 2003 Report Posted December 13, 2003 I had almost all, but got the Ellington/Armstrong, and the Bud Powell, which I had in the original CD issue. Sweet deal. Quote
Jazzmoose Posted December 13, 2003 Report Posted December 13, 2003 Wow! Being poor/lazy/whatever, I managed to find five I wanted (Monk, Powell, Hill, J.J., and Green), and rather than put one back, did something I normally don't do and promised myself I would avoid. I bought the Kenton. No, seriously, I actually went the "upgrade" route and picked Out to Lunch. Hope it's really better! Quote
Jazzdog Posted December 13, 2003 Report Posted December 13, 2003 Yeah, I decided to finally go the upgrade route with Idle Moments, Sidewinder and Out to Lunch and finally got Page One. I was hoping to find Una Mas here, but I'll just have to pick it up elsewhere! Quote
BERIGAN Posted December 13, 2003 Report Posted December 13, 2003 Not fair! I already own all the listed RVGs. Not fair, you must be rich! Quote
vibes Posted December 13, 2003 Report Posted December 13, 2003 I picked up the Kenton, Basie, Powell and Ellington/Armstrong CD's. I wish there was something I could do to get greater variety, but I don't work in music. Quote
street singer Posted December 13, 2003 Report Posted December 13, 2003 I picked up 'Idle Moments' (finally) and 'Page One'. Thanks micha! Quote
wolff Posted December 13, 2003 Report Posted December 13, 2003 Yeah, I decided to finally go the upgrade route with Idle Moments, Sidewinder and Out to Lunch and finally got Page One. I was hoping to find Una Mas here, but I'll just have to pick it up elsewhere! They have Una Mas for $12.99/free shipping. Quote

Thats still WAY more I can get it for elesewhere...no fear, I'll pick it up soon!!! Quote
Morganized Posted December 14, 2003 Report Posted December 14, 2003 (edited) While looking over the list I can't help but notice how many of these were very early RVG's..... You don't think BN may be thinking about letting these go OOP, do you??? Edited December 14, 2003 by Morganized Quote
bertrand Posted December 14, 2003 Report Posted December 14, 2003 How do you know which titles are involved? I click on the link and get a generic statement about select BNs, but I don't know which. Blue Train is one I do not have (I have yet to won this one!), but are there others? Thanks, Bertrand. Quote
wolff Posted December 14, 2003 Report Posted December 14, 2003 It's changed. Maybe the sale is over. Quote
bertrand Posted December 14, 2003 Report Posted December 14, 2003 No, it said 12/27 was the last day. Bertrand. Quote
vibes Posted December 14, 2003 Report Posted December 14, 2003 I tried putting a couple of the items I ordered yesterday in my cart, and the value package pricing is no longer working as well. I've emailed customer service about this issue and hopefully it will be corrected in the next 24 hours. Quote
wolff Posted December 14, 2003 Report Posted December 14, 2003 All the titles available were listed under "Giants of Jazz" . that's gone now. One of the rules is/was that they have to be ordered at same time....no going back a second time like I tried. When I tried, the old pricing came up. Quote
Big Wheel Posted December 18, 2003 Report Posted December 18, 2003 Vibes, any word on what's up yet? The sale is still advertised on the main "music" page, although no titles come up if you click on the link. Quote
vibes Posted December 18, 2003 Report Posted December 18, 2003 Try it now. I just tried it and the list of titles was back up. Quote
