gavgnr Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 I would drop the dough to get that turntable but they won’t ship to uk 😔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadApples99 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 "Free shipping on this product in the UK and Europe" Why charge a fucking 120,30 euros for delivery to the netherlands?! 655 euro is doable, but 775,60 is just fucking insane What a fucking joke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vloors Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 So Australia is now $999 still overpriced for us minions. I got a family to feed instead and bills to pay. $200 would be a fair price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still not buying it, though Just paid $12 for a month of Apple Music, first time I've paid for music in a couple of years (been using Spotify Free for the most part).

Are they really trying to say that the turntable is $749? Fuck me, that's a bigger load of shit than the Locked and Loaded box set. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazey Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Furthermore, what it's really saying is that they can still make a profit on a $1200 box set AND a $749 turntable by selling them both together for $899. So basically a reduction of $1050 and they're STILL making a profit on both items. If that doesn't show just how much of a rip off this is then I don't know what will. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tourettes2400 Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 I am so glad I didn't fall for the hype. Once a few weeks wore off I was good lol. Now I don't even want it at the discount price, but I do kind of want the new Metallica box set lol. This is going to have to come down more. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wooden box itself is very well made. With everything inside, it weighs about 40 lbs. If we weren't living in an era where music is easy to find and download illegally, I think there'd be more of these sold, even at the $999 price tag. Yeah, there's more that could have been added that would help justify the price. As is, I think it's worth about $599, but I jumped on it when it was first made available. The band's music has carried me through a lot of crap in my life, and I wanted something special to serve as a reminder of that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k12 Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 oh look, after this $300 discount they moved the "regular" price down to $799, I am guessing those of you want this thing for $400-$500 will have it in the near future https://gnrmerch.com/collections/appetite-for-destruction/products/appetite-for-destruction-locked-n-loaded-box-set 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the thing; I feel like it's only over priced BECAUSE we live in the era of downloads. They have to make money somehow, so they've overpriced the set that way they make as much as they would have if it were reasonably priced back when people bought music en masse. 18 minutes ago, k12 said: oh look, after this $300 discount they moved the "regular" price down to $799, I am guessing those of you want this thing for $400-$500 will have it in the near future https://gnrmerch.com/collections/appetite-for-destruction/products/appetite-for-destruction-locked-n-loaded-box-set Nice. That makes it perfect for them to do a "$300 off for Black Friday!" sale and it will be the $500 I wanted to pat in the first place. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, but the GNR design is limited to only 100. Not saying that does or does not justify the price, just wan't sure if you saw that or not. 17 hours ago, Dazey said: Furthermore, what it's really saying is that they can still make a profit on a $1200 box set AND a $749 turntable by selling them both together for $899.

But the turntable is limited to only 100. But yes, still could be construed as overpriced. I wish I had been involved with all this more than just lending items in my collection.

Agreed, the box itself is actually pretty amazing quality, I was quite surprised. I also wish they had not included some things, and included other stuff. Still satisfied overall!

James Bond Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 I got to see one in person at my local CD/record store chain and they were asking $1099 (Canadian) for it. Spoiler alert: it looks cheap and not worth even half that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but the "design" basically consists of a couple of GnR logos on a standard turntable by the looks of it. Just shows utter contempt for the fans by price gouging to this extent IMO. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old_school_gnr_fan Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 I just posted this in the AFD sub-section.... Amazon US has the Locked N' Loaded set at $679, as one of their "Lightning Deals" for today, 11/21/18. Deal ends at 2AM Eastern Standard Time. Unsure if it will go lower on Black Friday....perhaps it will stay at $679. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
