Best place to buy import singles?

I think the title says it all. I've just seen some on Amazon, but the average prices on there seem to be around $12. Does anyone know of a better priced (but still reliable) site?

Online, I use Amazon but I use the sellers. If you're buying UK singles, use the sellers in the UK. I usually save a couple of bucks.

If you're ever in L.A., Amoeba Records has the Japanese import stuff at damn near retail ($20).

yea, import singles are a MAJOR ripoff. If I could find them at a resonable price I'd buy some.

They are very pricey, but the reason I'd want them is for b-sides and such.

sirendisc.com and theidealcopy.com are both pretty good. I've ordered from SirenDisc many times - they have $1.99 flat shipping on any order, pretty good prices, and they respond quickly to emails.

The Virgin Megastore here in NYC will sometimes have the Australian singles for 4.99. I would definitely try ebay for those. Get multiple discs and you can save on shipping. But the UK ones are always more expensive.

I have gotten many UK singles from ebay with no problems. Shipping has been good , like 3 bucks for shipping and the product around the cost of 2-3 bucks. It is not that bad, some times even less.
