    As mentioned in the Pink Floyd, "Oh, By the Way" thread, amazon has some truly unbelievable boxset prices right now. That SIXTEEN-cd box set, with LP-replica sleeves, is currently $23.97 (new).

    The Doors "Perception" boxset is $13.97
    Robert Plant's "Nine Lives" box is also $13.97

    Though this really belongs in the (often overlooked) Marketplace forum, what are the chances we can add on some amazing other deals here to alert forum members asap?

    I know someone in the Floyd thread mentioned Genesis boxes very cheap, for example...

    Luckily there's a horrible night here; rain, wind and I declined the offer to go out with friends 'cause I do not like driving with bad weather!

    I am texting right now all of my friends to tell'em if they want a copy of "Oh by the way" or "Perception"

    Thanks, just grabbed the Pink Floyd and The Doors sets. Not much there I don't have but I couldn't afford to pass them up at that price. I think there are only a few left.

    If someone were to tell me I'd be buying not one but two Phil Collins-era Genesis box sets today I would have thought they were crazy.

    I ordered all of them but "Box of Fire" which I've owned since it came out in '94.

    I was hoping that the Beatles' boxes would be on sale, but no such luck. :D

    So I got the Floyd box instead :thumbsup:

    Peephole? I guess I should get it.

    How bad is the sound on the Genesis box sets?

    Not that I know of. I'm still scrolling through an advanced music search of all box sets. There is a link for box sets on sale over a certain percentage, but most of these deals don't display when using that link.

    I can't believe the Floyd is that cheap. That is crazy.

    I never considered buying the Pink Floyd set before since I have multiple copies of all of the albums that I like (everything up to and including Animals). But, I like the mini-LP packaging and can't pass up this deal. So, I ordered a copy. Thanks for the tip!

    Cheers,
    Chris

    Beatles white album remastered $12.99 (48% off)

    Not great but pretty good (maybe an add to get free shipping if you need it)

    Just picked up the two early Genesis sets as well. I see Jamie had a negative review that was removed by Amazon about the 1976-82 set, but at that price I'm more than willing to take a chance.

    I'm still looking. Today is getting expensive but I love it. :D

    They must just want to quickly clear some shelf space in the warehouses.
