The Magnificent Goldberg Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 Just another ad / special that BB doesn't come through on.... Is that the sort of thing they do? No wonder everyone's got a down on them. MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster_Ties Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 Just another ad / special that BB doesn't come through on.... Correction -- it was a mis-priced item. It never was an "ad / special" at that crazy $9.99 price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulstation1 Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 wasn't it a 2 day easter special? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trane_fanatic Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 (edited) I highly recommend anyone who wants the Best Buy ltd. ed. to get on over there as soon as possible. When I went in at 10 AM today at the one nearest my house, they, as the ad said, only had 2 sets in the whole store.

Big Al Posted April 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 Got my copy at the local BB, and they price-matched the 39.99 price without any haggling on my part. They just said, "Yes, we can match that." Very smooth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trane_fanatic Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 (edited) Apparently, at least one lucky guy in my area got the $10 price by just showing his cancelled order price.

sthomas Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 I probably won't get as I told them that I felt their reason for not honoring my order was ridiculous and I would never order from them again if I could help it. I told them their reason was an outright lie and that I was reporting them to the Better Business Bureau (which I did) ... but they still sent me that $10 coupon.

Dan Gould Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 I don't get why I am not getting the $10 coupon but don't intend to get anything from them. I get along very well without them, doncha know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 Well guys, I don't know what to say - mine just arrived. I am done with BB, though. I too am jealous. Maybe the distributor had about 5 copies at that prce. I won't deal with or get it from Best Buy, but how does the set look & sound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al Posted April 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 i don't know if this is a good or bad thing i still haven't received the $10.75 credit on my debit card Mine are still showing as "pending," meaning they haven't actually gone through, but the money is being held in suspense until the authorization finally expires.

Big Al Posted April 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 Oh yeah, and the set sounds FANTASTIC!!!! Listening to Dance to the Music right now, and I wish I could, but I'm at work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffrey r Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 My box set should have arrived today from BB, so I hope to listen to it tonight. Initial feedback seems to be very positive on the mastering, but it's Vic Anesini, so that's not a surprise. BB canceled my $9.99 order, but did issue the $30 credit on my price adjustment from the initial order that shipped already, so the box set is costing me $15.

I actually think the design of the box itself is a little cheesy - I'm not going to have a chance to spin it at a decent volume until this weekend so no comment on the sound, but I expect it to be great.

Peter Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 I'm baffled and apalled that "Hot Fun in the Summertime," "Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)," and "Everybody Is a Star" are not included as bonus tracks on this box! It's not like they ran out of space! I know that these were non-lp singles, give me a break! So where will re-masters of these show up??? This is just horse shit.

J Larsen Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 Well I played about half of There's a Riot last night at pretty high volume - it sounds MUCH better than the old version (granted, that's not hard) - Poetry in particular pratically sounds like a different song! Looking forward to getting some real time with this set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
