I placed three orders with them, for about a dozen discs apiece. I've gotten something like 90% of the discs I wanted (many of them twice, though I won't be complaining about that unless I actually get billed for them more than once), including some rather hard-to-find stuff--one of the Ethiopiques compilations, a Chris Watson album, a few Tzadik CDs. I am not dissatisfied. Douglas

Great. I got 4 of the 18 or so I ordered. Some of them were billed to me at different prices than the ones they advertised. I am (as I said at least twice) far more dissatisfied at the way they are handling people and the impression I have of their general tactics(re: bait and switch) than I am over the fact that I don't have what I ordered. I'm happy that other people have good experiences with them, but please don't miss my point. The mere fact that you have doubles and many people haven't even been charged for their orders should open up the possibility (in the minds of those with good experiences) that something is indeed screwy here and that equally bad experiences might be had by others. I only posted this because it was an item of discussion for some time and because people ahd asked for the results of those who ordered when they surfaced. I don't wish to debate about exactly what constitues bait and switch (nothing to debate, actually ...http://www.bbbsouthland.org/topic016.html ) nor do I want to cause any consternation with those who got a good deal. Peace. jeff Douglas Wolk wrote:
