trane_fanatic Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Amazon is presently (April 5, 2011) offering the Nat Cole Hip-O Select 3-CD boxed set for $14.60. Riffin': The Decca, JATP, Keynote, and Mercury Recordings Now $53.31! Now it's all the way back down to $14.11. :blink: The price of this has been dropping like a rock day by day these past several weeks. It won't get much lower... I think. Thanks for the Nat King Cole repost. I missed it the first time. Sweet! No problem, the day after I posted about this, it was at $54. I think some other people who saw this post probably bought copies too. This one looks interesting: 40 CDs for $27.08. I like Vivaldi, so I may pick it up. Just received a notice from Amazon that this shipped. Moral: When you see a great deal like this, grab it. Delivered today; it's now $71.98 on Amazon. I don't know if this has always been true, but there have been some big price fluctuations on Amazon, not just at usual sale times (like Christmas) but day to day and week to week. It's surprising--at east to me. Another example: my wife wanted a KitchenAid mixer and sent me a link (a gentle hint ). While I mulled over this state of affairs I checked back on Amazon a few days later; price had dropped more than $20. It seems to pay to check the pricing over a few days time. Amazon seems to be pursuing the pricing game that airlines now use, where seat prices will fluctuate up or down depending on a host of factors on an almost continuous basis. I'm sure they are using some sort of algorithm to set pricing. No more "set it and forget it." That's some crazy algorithm they're using there.

GA Russell Posted June 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 (edited) Herbie Mann - Four Classic Albums (2 CDs) - $5.30 Amazon has this UK (I think) public domain release of four Herbie Mann Prestige albums from 1957 and 1958. Flute Souffle Flute Flight Just Wailin' Yardbird Suite I bought the first three above in 1969 for bargain bin prices. Flute Souffle and Flute Flight are great! Mann recorded a session with Bobby Jaspar which makes up all of Flute Souffle and Side A of Flute Flight. Side B is a Jaspar session. Just Wailin' is a blowing session that I've never been excited about. Edit - Lon says that Yardbird Suite is a Savoy date.

Granted, this is only what Marketplace sellers use. Amazon's own algorithm is almost certainly much "smarter" even if it does still occasionally lead to big price swings. Does anyone want to try a little experiment with the "Tell us about a lower price" button? If so PM me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinmce Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 Strange, I just scored a sealed copy of #163 The Complete Capitol Studio Recordings of Stan Kenton 1943-47 through Amazon for $71.99. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 That's not raally that strange. . . that set was released to retail outlets, one of the first to be so, and so likely to be a few copies bouncing around surfacing now and then.

JSngry Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 Really? I ws not aware of that. I would pay that price for that music, although not too much more, if any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeway Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 So, did you get her the mixer? Yes of course! Not only because she is my darling wife , but because she turns a patient eye upon the rather steady stream of other packages from Amazon and EBAY bearing vinyl and CD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjzee Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 Those KitchenAid mixers are great. We should start a thread on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeway Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 Those KitchenAid mixers are great. We should start a thread on it. They are. This is the 2nd one I bought. The first was for my daughter. It made untold numbers of cookies, brownies and other baked goods. Now that my daughter has her own place, the wife needed her own KitchenAid. Their utility is undoubted, but their musicality is sadly lacking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDK Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 Geez, I just bought one for my wife's birthday a few months ago. Same great deal from Amazon too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alankin Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 Kitchen Aid mixers do come in a box, so I guess this is still on-topic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unk Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 A 40% off coupon for Borders. It's good until the 13th. And it's good online. Seems like someone (like me) could make a "box bargain" out of it. http://www.bordersmedia.com/coup/20110610sa40.html?cmpid=SA_20110610. Note: Excludes stuffed animals.
