[HPFGU-OTChatter] Tapes

[Simon]

Simon: "I have had to exercise my full self-control not to buy the audio
books while they are at half price. I cannot justify such extravagance when
I am a student. Guess I will wait until I am earning some of that money
stuff when I grow up a bit."
Heather M.: "WHERE are they half-price? How much is that? Do they have CDs,
too?"

This would be WHSmiths Online:
http://www.whsmith.co.uk/whs/Go.asp?Menu=Books&pagedef=/harrypotter/show.ht
m&data=harrypotteraudio (link may need to be reconstructed, but they are
there). I thought I had posted this a while back, but maybe it was in one
of the chats that I mentioned it.

They have all the already released Stephen Fry audio versions on offer (GoF
does not come out for another month). With the CD and normal tapes being at
half price. How much longer this offer will be on for I do not know, but it
started nearly a fortnight ago. So possibly it is close to finishing.

PS, CoS and PoA are all around ?20 in price after the reduction. This is
about 30 of those US dollar things.
The set of three CD versions, including US/Canadian postage, is ?76 (about
US$110).


How they can manage to sell them at half price I cannot answer. Guess buy
in bulk and having little overheads is the answer.


Note that all prices quoted are taken from the site in question in good
faith, but may have changed by the time you view it. I accept no
responsibility for incorrect exchange rate or for price changes between now
and whenever you go and take a look.
