Chalk one up for globalization
So I’ve had this CD on my Amazon.com wishlist for many months. As you can see, it’s an import from Britain, and as such, is quite expensive. $35 expensive. For one CD. Hence the reason it’s been on my wish list for so long – I just couldn’t bring myself to pay that much for one CD.
This afternoon, I happened to glance at the reviews of the CD that are posted on amazon. One of the reviewers recommended purchasing the disc from the British Amazon site, amazon.co.uk. So I check it out. The CD was available there for £0.14. Yah – that’s $0.27. Add international shipping onto that, and my grand total was about $6.50. It’s being shipped airmail and should arrive late the first week of February. W00t.
Nice work! Don’t you love finding little loopholes like that? The worst is when you find them *after* you paid full price.
