Freddie Mercury 12 Disc Solo Collection - Ebay!

15.02.2009 14:50		 Also has anyone here got it? If so what's the 120 book like? Does it have rare photos too?

Amazon have 2nd hand ones, but the cheapest one is £170 and the cds are scratched! : link
Can't seem to find this in HMV or anywhere, so wondering if there is anywhere else?

Ebay is another option, someone trying to sell one for £275 though, a bit steep: http://shop.ebay.co.uk/items/?_nkw=Freddie+Mercury+-+The+Solo+Collection&_sacat=0&_fromfsb=&_trksid=m270.l1313&_odkw=Freddie+Mercury+-+The+Solo+Collection+%28%2B2DVD%29&_osacat=0

Has this gone out of production now then? As in theres only a limited number ever made?

16.02.2009 12:36		 50 euros? wow!

Ah well I'm going to stick with ebay I think and see how cheap I can get it!

Congratulations. I almost bought one for 250 Euros few years ago, but fortunately enough someone was faster.
So now I'm searching on various auction sites for a reasonable price

Haha thanks. The guy who sold it only allowed people from The Netherlands to bid on it, so basically it was a piece of cake seeing there was hardly any interest at all! I call it sheer luck though :)

Good luck with your search! It's definitely worth it!

16.02.2009 15:40		 LOL 250 is steep.

This one is quite a bargain at the moment: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Freddie-Mercury-The-Solo-Collection-2DVD-CD-2000_W0QQitemZ330308212417QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Music_Music_Memorabilia_LE?hash=item330308212417&_trksid=p3911.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1229%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318

Adam_C
17.02.2009 12:50		 Yeah true...but I see many of them sell around the 100 mark which I think is okay.
Adam_C
18.02.2009 08:38		 Still cheap :-)
Adam_C
19.02.2009 11:06		 Well theres two on ebay, both of them are under £70, so thats a bargain: http://shop.ebay.co.uk/?_from=R40&_trksid=m38&_nkw=Freddie+Mercury+-+The+Solo+Collection

20.04.2011 15:28		 I got this for my 20th birthday, and the shop gave me it the day before it was actually due to come out.  It has a lot of sentimental value for me, but I think that the discs weren't great quality and were easily scratched.   don't think I've seen a copy that hasn't got scuffed discs.  Anyway, it's long out of production (came out 10 years ago) and retailed at £100 back then.  I would say that anywhere from £70-£100 is a good price for it.  Anything above £150 is definitely a rip-off.

Can't think why they went out of business!
