Alec Posted May 2, 2004 Report Share Posted May 2, 2004 Has anyone seen this outside of the Amazon.fr site? I have the first 75 (thanks to a fellow board member) and I'm jonesing for the next 25. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chaney Posted May 2, 2004 Report Share Posted May 2, 2004 Amazon.fr, as you've noted, has the 25 CD set at cost of 139.93 EUR = 167.174 USD. I was curious as to the cost of shipping the set to the USA so I clicked through to the very end - just short of placing an order. The shipping cost is 10.90 EUR. Funny thing is, at checkout, the price of the set has fallen to 117.00 EUR! Articles : EUR 117.00 Livraison TTC : EUR 10.90 Total HT : EUR 127.90 TVA : EUR 0.00 Montant total : EUR 127.90 That's $152.80 for the set, or $6.11 per CD. Not too bad.

J.A.W. Posted May 2, 2004 Report Share Posted May 2, 2004 Funny thing is, at checkout, the price of the set has fallen to 117.00 EUR! French sales tax is deducted for destinations outside the EU, hence the lower total. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chaney Posted May 2, 2004 Report Share Posted May 2, 2004 Aha! Forgot about that. Thanks Hans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alec Posted May 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2004 Well, I pulled the trigger (how do you say trigger in French?). Not knowing the language I hope I ordered the right set. Thanks Chaney and J.A.W. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ejp626 Posted May 3, 2004 Report Share Posted May 3, 2004 That sounds like the right set. I also imported it from Amazon.fr, but be warned, it took well over a month to arrive (I think it was six weeks). I had given up hope and was seriously debating hashing it out with my credit card company as lost property when it finally arrived. There are some great CDs there though, which made it all worth it. I thought the Byas (78), Cootie Williams (101) and Jazz and Cinema 4 (98) were particularly noteworthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamf Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 Dustygroove carried the set at one point. I haven't looked lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chaney Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 I believe Dusty Groove still lists the 75 CD set as available (at $499!) but not its little brother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free For All Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 Well, I pulled the trigger (how do you say trigger in French?). I believe it's "Royale with cheese". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neveronfriday Posted May 6, 2004 Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 No, it's triggér. BTW: I have the entire box set run and am lovin' it front to back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alec Posted May 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 Well, the set I ordered on May 2 came today! Not bad service from France. I've only listened to the Blossom Dearie and Sarah Vaughan and all I can say is "ooh la la!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
