Over a year ago my local Virgin Megastore flogged hundreds of classical CDs and box sets for 3.99 each, no matter what they were. I bought 500 worth and made about 400 selling more than half on the internet. I still have a number left unopened which I will DEFINITELY listen to one day, including a DG box set of Bernstein conducting American works, Jacobs conductign Saul, von Otter singing Hercules and Handley's Bax cycle on Chandos. Yes, both were 3.99 (!!). I still count that sale as the most amazing sale I've seen in alomst 20 years of collecting.
