View Full Version : Announcement ... The Elvis 24 Karat Hits CD I bought today

This is in reference to the Elvis Presley 24 Karat Hits DCC gold CD I offered to go out and buy if anyone on the list wanted it (see the earlier Elvis Presley 24 Karat thread).

Well, I just got back from the Newbury Comics in Shrewsbury near my house , and they still had the disc, and I grabbed it.

With my 5 percent discount, the disc was $30.39, plus $1.52 tax for a total of $31.91.

It's noon EST, and I've heard from 3 different people. It's only 9am on the West Coast, and I really want to be fair about this. Here's what I've decided to do:

At 3:00pm EST today, Mon. Feb. 18, I will throw the names of everyone who's responded by then into a hat. (My wife and cats will be witnessing to keep me honest.) Whoever's name I draw ... that's who'll get the CD, in return for reimbursing me for the cost. It just seems the fairest way to do it under the circumstances ... I would just say the first person who responded should get it, but that wouldn't be fair to all of our friends on the West Coast and in other time zones ...

Jeff gets a gold star for effort and fairness. Hope we didn't ruin your day, Mr. Partyka.

... njwiv.

Seven people responded, including a few folks I've had very positive dealings with thanks to the DCC site and this one. Of course I wish I could send one to each of you.

Didn't ruin my day at all. :) I'm glad to help my fellow music fans if and when I can.

Ah well ... Congrats, njwiv! I know you'll enjoy the disc. I'll email you privately so we can hammer out details ...

I don't understand. I've been sending good thoughts to a hat in Northborough since 3 p.m. It always works.

I don't understand....


Seriously, Jeff, you brightened my day. Thanks for the effort! :D

Thanks for your efforts Jeff! I guess I now know where NOT to go to buy it.

If I should see another copy- I will buy it and hold for any other requests. I am actually thinking of heading into Cambridge this weekened anyway.

Chris, I called Cambridge and they're holding a copy for me while I arrange for my brother to pick it up.

So if there was only one copy save yourself the trip. Sorry!

Elvis sold very well for DCC. The new DCC will do everything in their power to re-release it. I wouldn't be paying too much for something that will probably come back on the market at a fair price. But I already have mine so I don't have a jones for it.

And it's worth whatever you pay for it because it's great!
