Sometimes Amazon is whacked!!!! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

They once were selling Janet Jackson's Janet Jackson , her first album for $19.99! The one that no one really knows about! And the more popular ones(The ones after Dreamstreet ) are under $19.00. Why would I pay 20.00 for a CD that is kind of unknown? Many people don't even know that CD exists! Then I checked the price again, they had changed the price to Used and new from $4.99 and Club Price $9.49. I guess noone bought the CD when it was 20.00.

And there is a Janet Remixed CD that is 24.49! And it is only 11 remixed songs! Which makes it cost only about 50 cents less than the Design of a Decade DVD, which is 24.98! And the CD is actually $4.54 more than the Design of A Decade VHS, which is 19.95! What a deal.

Why should 11 remixed songs cost more or just about the same price of a video collection? Well, this time i don't exactly blame Amazon because it is also the list price too. Amazon just sells it at the list price. But I could get that Janet Remixed CD for less than 5.00 at one of the thrift stores I go to!

I've found that Amazon has had a lot of good deals, too. Yes, sometimes they do sell at list price, but they also have had some good sales, too.

Oh my goodness. Amazon is whacked once again! On the website, "Straight Up" from Paula Abdul(The Cd-Single) the cost of the CD(new) is $4.98 and the used price is 19.99!

What The Hell? Why would I want to pay more for the used price than the new one?

Amazon doesn't set used prices. Used products are from people selling their items through amazon and whoever's doing the selling is the one who picks the price they're willing to sell it for and the condition it's in (used or new).

the reason Janet's first two cd's cost more is because they're out of print.

Paula's Straight Up cd maxisingle has been out of print for over a decade, so copies of it are pretty scarce.

Janet. Remixed is an import, imports always cost more than domestic releases

Why do always complain about Amazon?... If you don't like it, why do you keep on using it?!

I go on it because I like to look at the reviews of the CD's I want. I do not buy from them.
