[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 477505, member: 250"] Ok just to expand on this HMV topic a tad further with a real world example.... For those who were Teenagers during the era when ABBA hit the headlines with Waterloo etc... (or have wives/partners who were...) Maybe ABBA aren't your cup-of-tea, but they were without doubt one of the biggest bands on the pop scene mid70's to mid 80's... So I noticed in our local Tesco they have an ABBA boxed set 9 CD's (8 studio albums + 1 Singles & B-Sides sort of CD)... COST... £18.00 (That's £2 per CD).. So I was up at our big Out-O-Town shopping centre where the nearest HMV is... {I guess Deke will know if I say "Merry-Hill Shopping Centre?} And this same Boxed set is £29+ {which is the same as Amazon have it listed} [URL="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Albums-Abba/dp/B001F9Y2CM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1547168780&sr=8-1&keywords=abba+the+albums"]https://www.amazon.co.uk/Albums-Abba/dp/B001F9Y2CM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1547168780&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=abba+the+albums[/URL] now that is not just a few quid difference but a whopping £11.00 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How come a "Music" retailer, (or Amazon for that matter), can't get nearer to Tesco's £18.00??? Tesco MUST be making a decent profit on £18.00 price ticket..... So is it any wonder that HMV are losing out?? [/QUOTE]
