Bulk discount : Cennydd Bowles on user experience

I’ve not yet stopped buying CDs because I like having the physical artefacts. Mostly because I have a pretty decent hi-fi setup that trumps any MP3 in quality but, candidly, also thanks to mild music snobbery: the narcissistic chance that some visitor to my home will examine my collection and be suitably impressed. It does happen.

But my modest (615 CD, according to iTunes) collection pales into insignificance compared to this astonishing 3,000,000-strong record collection being sold on eBay. Reserve price: $3 million. Beyond my means – until, that is, eBay generously decided to offer $10 cashback.

Ha! That made me laugh so hard I nearly choked. Keep saving your pennies :-)

“$3million is a ridiculously low price to start with. The owner of the collection has turned down offers for far more over the years, including an offer of $28million nine years ago. It’s being sold this way now because his life circumstances have changed”

Your life circumstances must have changed a lot if you didn’t need $28m 9 years ago but you really really need $3m NOW.
