This is one of the best post's ever!!!

Thanks!

Maybe the order fulfillment is handled by the same folks who ship out those "$5 Bag Of Crap". They just ran out of more desirable items.

Their B&M store on 8th St. is so narrow and packed that it's easy to feel claustrophobic...and I didn't even make it to the basement-dungeon.

I ordered the latter three Radiohead remastered boxes, plus a few other random titles. Shipping was free and they shipped via media mail. I got the package a little more than a week after I ordered.

A few notes:

1) "Amnesiac" was not cut out in any way, but the other two Radiohead titles had very minor cut marks on the UPC -- so much so that I barely noticed them and probably wouldn't have if I hadn't been looking. That was sort of surprising, as the majority of promos I've seen from the Capitol/EMI catalog department are actually cut out with a notch in the spine.

2) Amy Winehouse's "Frank" had a drill hole in the case. The other two titles I ordered were just fine, sealed and perfect.

3) They did leave out one of the extra titles. The email said they all shipped, but the packing slip had little check marks by all the titles save for the one that was missing. I emailed their customer service (late on a Friday), heard back from them very quickly (either later that night or Saturday) and they immediately shipped the missing title.

4) I did notice while checking out that the prices shown didn't totally coorespond to the prices that I actually paid. One of the Radiohead titles was priced $3 or $4 higher than the other two, but once it was in my shopping cart, the price dropped back down. Don't know if that was a snafu or what.

Overall, I was pleased. Looking at their inventory, it appears they get a fair amount of new Capitol/EMI stuff -- both catalog and new titles -- and new Sony/BMG stuff. I do plan to check occasionally for new inventory, but of course, I'll check here too in case folks are more diligent than I am ...

I ordered a CD for 99 cents and another for $3. The one for $3 has a small cut-out (drill hole) in the case. They both came with cracked cases. I emailed them and they sent me 2 blank cases.

Got my order today, took about a week. I ordered 5, all of them had either a hole drilled or slash in the barcode.

Keith Murray - He's Keith Murray (drill hole)
Lisa Hannigan - Sea Saw (black marker line on bar code)
A Fine Frenzy - Bomb In A Birdcage (small slash in bar code)
Chairlift - Does You Inspire YOu (small slash in bar code)
The Decemberists - Hazards Of Love (only one in perfect shape)

That being said, for how much cheaper these are, a slash in the bar code is nothing to me and I've bought promos/overstock before. For anyone interested, the Chairlift album they're selling IS the reissue with the 2 bonus songs. This was not mentioned on their website so yay!

They've added most of the Stereo Remastered Beatles @ $7.99-$8.99 & Past Masters 2 Disc @ $9.99. I've grabbed all the single cd's they had except Yellow Sub. They are sold out of MMT, hopefully the others are still in stock.

The only title they're not listing is the White Album.

Received my order on Tuesday.
The Cure: Trilogy - Live in Berlin (Blu-ray) $9.99
Echo & The Bunnymen - Ballyhoo CD $6.99 (Australian import)

No cutouts, slashmarks, etc. However the Ballyhoo disc makes a lot of internal, annoying noise in my drive/player. No other disc does that, so I'll try contacting them.
