Game Over; People...

a lot easier to remember
than compactconfections.
I see you're not keeping up here. "compactconfections(sic)" is not part of TSIG.
And that's quite a leap you make to "Game Over." Maybe a harder look is required by you, if you really want to compare that is.

$25.95 for the catalog ($15.95 for those in Canada & Mexico) plus $5.95 shipping cost. No thanks. Too expensive.
And does this mean only people in North America can participate?
Some info from their FAQ: beta.everycd.com
Why do I have to pay an annual membership fee?
The prices you see are all wholesale prices. If it were not for the membership fee, we would be out of business. We operate similar to the large warehouse clubs that sell mass quantities for a lower overall price. Our service is geared toward someone who buys many CD's over the course of a year. It works out that the savings you earn after buying 7 or 8 CD's will pay for your year's membership.
So they make up the $$ from their "wholesale prices" by charging the annual fee.
How much does the average CD cost, and how much will I save?
If you averaged everything in our catalog it would come to about $9.00. Typically you save approximately 25-30% off of suggested list price (or about $4-5). On every item not just the hits. Keep in mind that we do not put items on sale, but all of the titles listed are at the same discount prices all year round.
The average price $9.00. My guess would be that the newer or more popular selections are higher priced. What do you think? And do you have any idea what that price would be?
Why don't you have online music databases, like other online retailers?
If an online music database is important to you please e-mail us. We love to hear from our members and their comments are important in determining the services we offer. Please keep in mind that online music database companies charge 2-4% of all sales for that information. For now we felt it was more important to save our members that fee. But if our members want it-than they shall have it!
Hmm, no online database. And if they add one, it'll cost even more.
All in all, I for one would not be at all interested.
To refer again to your "Game Over" comment, you're also forgetting that TSIG is not a one-trick pony. |
