CD pricing
Posted by: Rasher on 21 September 2004
Yes I know this has been talked about so many times before, but I still don't get how prices can vary by so much.
I have come home today to find a CD waiting for me from the nice postman.
The CD in question is currently on the Tower web site priced at £14.42. My copy - brand new - has come from CDQuest.com, manufactured in Germany and stocked and shipped to me in the UK from Miami, Florida - for the total price incl shipping of £5.68.
How can this be?
Half the way around the world and back again, with a profit for everyone in the chain presumably, all for £5.68? Yet Tower want £14.42.
I really don't get it.
