Isn't it sad that a "large" black cloud can post irrelevant and insulting garbage on a great thread and attempt to ruin it?
And some folks just choose to ignore the others who post as well.
Choosing to be blind isn't some to be proud of.
Oh well.

I have an Amazon story to share. About 2 years ago I contacted a seller about a very expensive soundtrack with a question about the condition of the liner notes. I expressed how much I had enjoyed the music when I had seen the movie years before. Well, to my surprise, the seller contacted me, answered my question and offered to take $30.00 off the price of the item. I was in shock. The seller told me to reply to their email and as soon as they received the reply, the price would be lowered. I was almost giddy with anticipation while waiting for the price to change. It took a little time but I grabbed it when it came up with the lower price. I received the item and it was indeed in pristine shape. I think I used up all the characters in leaving feedback for this seller. This seller could have easily gotten the higher price for the item. Truly nice thing to do.
As far as I'm concerned I've had nothing but very positive experiences with AMAZON, I've been able to get many titles I've needed at a very reasonable price very quickly.
There are still quite a few titles that aren't available DIGITALLY that can only be found on CD or LP and AMAZON makes tracking those down very easy for the most part.
eBay can be much harder for a variety of reasons, but AMAZON has come through for me almost 100% of the time and it also makes getting imports very easy as well.

This comes from a man who should know a lot better. You mister Thaxton have several times replied to topics that you should have not.
According to whom exactly And who decides?
You, apparently!
My story is that about 12 years ago I put a Morricone disc up on eBay, and got a reply back that went something like: "Why are you asking so much money for this terrible noise?"
At this point, I could have chosen several types of response. Unusually for me, I decided to be mollifying and simply said that if he didn't like it, then don't bid. He immediately emailed back to apologise, he'd mixed me up with a friend of his and was actually taking the mickey with his first comment. We went on to be very good friends for a while, sending packages of discs, magazines and comestible delicacies between Yorkshire and Bavaria. I lost touch with him after a few years, but won't forget him in a hurry.

And this is why buying a CD with Ford Thaxton's credit on it feels like you're supporting the Taliban!
LOL Francis

Kev,
I guess I am going to have to step in and back you up, since no one else seems to want to agree.
Now, Ford can have someone else to call a fanboy, except I admit I am a fangirl. Ford, do you not have any re-performed releases to be working on?
Anyway, I have have no major problems with Amazon and that is where I buy most of my Intrada titles from to get free shipping. Ebay I have had only problems. Receiving CDs that are not as described, scratched, jewel case completely crushed, CD missing from the jewel case, etc. The most disturbing thing is the lack of policing of b**tlegs that are sold on both sites.

I found the long out-of-print Silva 'Twilight Zone 40th Anniv. 4-CD Collection' at Amazon about 2 months ago for $60 incl. shipping. That's no more than list price and I had Amazon credits.
Still- that Silva album is sooo worth it.
The 2 Varese albums are fine, but this is everything from the 5 LPs that the Varese albums are culled from- and it's all gold.
I don't understand why Varese never released everything to begin with. Was licensing costs and such an issue with material from that era?

I found '9-5' for $30 just by doing a 'CD Soundtrack' search on eBay.
A touch pricy but it came up in a random search just at the time I was actively looking to acquire it.
My husband found the long out of print T. Newman score CD of 'Fried Green Tomatoes' ~1-1/2 yrs ago for $15.

What was the soundtrack?
