Title: 'Z' record sales...
Post by: realdeal on Oct 05, 2005, 10:55 AM
I visited ear x-tacy last night and the clerk (Todd Cook) told me that only 200 copies had been sold as of 10pm last night. Isn't that kind of dissapointing?

Maybe people are buying at Best Buy for 7.99 or through other outlets.

Hmmm, I don't think 200 copies is disappointing, is it?  Plus, lots of people pre-ordered, plus iTunes, major stores, etc...

You go then.  I bought my copy at Ear X-tacy yesterday for 9.99.  I will gladly pay a LITTLE extra to get it from them.  Ten dollars extra?  No freakin way.

You know I think this is kind of crummy... I went the route of buying if from the band rather than going to a Best Buy to get it cheaper only to find one click of the mouse later that if I want to get it on time, I have to pay more outrageous shipping and handeling costs.  Apparently the several weeks ahead of time I placed my order weren't enough timing.  So know, I have wound up paying twice what my buddy did, and still haven't received the CD yet.  While I'm sure the band themselves has absolutely nothing to do with this, it still sucks.

I would have been frustrated if I had pre-ordered also.  Hope yours arrives soon.

Thanks for the support.  For now I have my free down load and the track off the Elizabethtown soundtrack to tide me over!
