| Posted: | | | | I usually put in the notes box ( just below the srp area) either inc ship .. or N/C ship (with the ship price noted there) .. but my biggest problem is where I can default all my costs to CDN and sure enough weeks or months later I notice it has once again popped back to USD ... | | | In the 60's, People took Acid to make the world Weird.

| Posted: | | | | Well I am going to have a more detailed statistic in the future, which I'm already profiling with Beta 3.9. For example today's arrival: Or a recent arrival where I didn't need to pay anything due to a gift certificate: I'm a statistics fan. But I've also seen quite a few number of people who measure their purchase price against the SRP to see how much they've saved. | | | Karsten DVD Collectors Online
