I have been interested in this band since I first found them on the QQ forum, and specifically the stuff with Steve Hackett, but the shipping from Hungary seemed excessive to me, so I balked at a big purchase. However, it appears that the band markup on shipping is substantial. It looks like if it were shipped within Hungary, the shipping is cheap, and then a friendly Hungarian might send it along to the USA for cheaper.
Would any other USA QQ members like to get in on a pooled order? I will place the order through Grill Bill, who has graciously agreed to send the whole order to me. I can then part it out here and send it along to the recipients at cost. I have plenty of packing, so I would just add local postage.
If anyone is interested, please just post back to this thread. If it looks like there is enough interest I will get the final quotes and post them back.

I am not asking anyone to buy the whole set. These are just reference numbers for the available titles. People can order what they want through me, I will compile and manage the shipments, and I will pay up front and collect via PayPal on the back side, then ship.
So to participate:
1. You live in the USA and have PayPal access
2. Select titles from the above list and post them here.
3. I will verify pricing before placing the order. We will not know the exact shipping until the order is shipped from Hungary, and until I prep the USA packages, but I will charge COST ONLY with no fees for handling or packaging. I will divide the Hungarian shipping cost by the number of discs, so that will be spread equally.
4. When I receive the order I will verify your USA mailing address and prepare the package.
5. I will check the USA shipping, tally the order and ask for a PayPal payment.
6. You pay and I ship the music, then you receive your music.
I will leave this thread open to new participants until Halloween. Then I will finalize the order and initiate the shipment. I am not sure how long the shipment will take from Hungary, but I am guessing you will have music by Thanksgiving.
From what I have heard, these mixes are very active. I am looking forward to adding some of these to my collection.
