Somebody on this forum got a mint copy of Reflections SACD in QQ's classifieds for $250 last week. It just puts into perspective how good a deal that was when you consider you needed $600 to snipe this latest one.
The Groove Armada today on eBay was nearly $400.
 
That was from Estocks in The Channels Isles, the same place I bought, but didn't receive, my Roger Waters The Wall for US$2 or thereabouts

But.......

I predict ........

The lucky buyer will either find it is not SACD or get an email about a month after purchase claiming it has failed QC and the purchase price has been refunded because it had to be destroyed.

Oddly The Wall failed the rigerous QC when a Super Furry Animals in "Very Good Condition" made it though despite being in a cracked case, furthermore both were bought on the same night but I was advised that The Wall had failed QC a month after purchase and a week after SFA made it to NZ!

Of course should they list a similar disk on Ebay later it will "definately not be the same disk" depite this happening to others - read the feedback.

But I could be wrong and there is some lucky sod with the score of the decade, hopefully if this is the case the buyer appreciates his purchase, if it is a member of QQ go on rub it in.

In the meantime

Lovebox for a more respectable $128.07 I missed that by $2.50 but a limit is a limit!
 
Is QQ classifieds a hidden section for long term user?

In my opinion even USD 250 is way to much for a SACD with a boring surround mix. Even while it is mega-rare I could not force myself to like the mix. I could not even stand more than three songs in a row. It is like drinking champagne and eating caviar just because it is exclusive.

But I let SACD Earth, Wind & Fire - Gratitude go for EUR 22.72. My bid was the second best. I was conservative since I already own that SACD.

Unbelievable!

After reading this I got out the CD-4 / DVD-A conversion and listened to it again. It has a great mix with good separation. I love the song - "Get Ready"..... nice. I guess the Japanese pressing makes it ultra rare (no pun intended) but Jeeze Louise 800 bucks. Wow!

Has that been sold or just Buy it now price?

I would just like to point out that all is not what it seems at this eShop.
I was actually following this. It was up at $200 for couple of hours and then the price was dropped to $9.87 and was "Snapped up" in the space of 2 seconds. They do the same with other "Hard To Get" SACDs too. Only yesterday Depeche Mode Violator SACD was $120 for a couple of hours and then in the last few seconds the price dropped to £10 and was "snapped up" immediately.
There is probably a term for this behaviour like "Shill Bidding" for auctions.
They are probably hoping that somebody like piotrus will advertise the sale on a forum like this. Oh look Love Box for $10.
You will see a lot of Can, Diana Krall, Bob Dylan Eric Clapton,Kinks, and Classical SACDs for $10 also, and these are only worth a tenner anyway so the prices are not altered in these cases.
 
You are right. That stinks!

Another PvD shocker in Germany:

http://www.ebay.de/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150665025741

This is around USD 724. So the previous auction from Prague which only got to ~USD 200 actually was a good deal.

I'm just waiting for the day that a box with 100 Reflections SACD is found. I don't think the SACD was a big seller in Germany while in print, so there must be stock hidden in some storage :)

That also goes against the theory that bid prices are much lower when restricted to a single country.
