beags Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Just scrolling through the JB Hi Fi website (Australia) and noticed this... https://www.jbhifi.com.au/music/Whats-Hot/pop-urban/beauty-behind-the-madness-deluxe-180gm-vinyl/886941/ $72.99 for a 2LP gatefold. Surely that's almost double the standard RRP?? Who in their right mind would pay this?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HybridxReality Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 But it's Grammy Award-nominated multi-platinum alternative R&B trailblazer The Weeknd. Worth every penny! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Han Solo Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 For some reason the Aussie prices are ridiculous, especially for their local bands. Like $30 for a cd kind of thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-Bon Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 not defending them... but the USD to AUD is Shite! and they import most of their stuff from the states... however.. i can still get this for $55 landed in aus... problem is. there just isnt enough consumers/people like the US to warrant more big sellers.. like B&N, Walmart etc... and so JB can charge what they like, preying on the weak the worst part of it is, it just makes Aus Artists soooooo expensive.. i had to pay $60 for The Rubens - Hoops!

I bought it last week at JB (had to make multiple phone calls to track the last one down in VIC) for $42. You got jibbed!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

entendu Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 So many people go straight to jb for records, and I have no idea why. My local store (clarity) undersells them every time. I have also picked up records last year by local artists for $20 - $25 multiple times. A-Bon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runforcover Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 We sell that record for $40. The wholesale cost on it must be damn high if we sell it for that much, but $72 is insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throughbeingcruel Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 My local shop sells it for ~$36, but they're like the cheapest store in the state. No idea why it's that much though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elnombre91 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 AUD to GBP is great, 1gbp = 2aud roughly. But still,that's crazy pricing and for a record by The Weeknd? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
