The German amazon site lists two tour posters for the bargain of 3.300 Euros :lol:
Guess this madness can happen on Ebay, but Amazon....Can't really see anybody buying this there

Amazon have gone the way of eBay with certain things I noticed. Saw a music book for 1500 quid the other day. Not sure what or who is in charge of setting these prices but whatever it is is not quite with it. :nuts:

Just saw this other music book of Les Mis here (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Miserables-Piano-Duet-Alain-Boublil/dp/0793558379/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1371124168&sr=1-1&keywords=les+miserables+piano+sheet+music). Over £1000 if you buy it used.

If it's an Amazon shop rather than Amazon themselves then it's just sellers like on eBay setting the prices - some friends of ours have shops on most of the Amazon sites and they run it the same as their eBay shop.

It is .. a company called Concertposter. As you say, the same over-optimistic frame of mind that so many eBay sellers seem to have .. nothing to do with Amazon

Actually there is a second one on there you can see as well.

Interesting that second poster from 1978 calls Meat "America's hottest live act". I think in this decade that description would only be used in a sexual connotation rather than describing exciting music. If it doesn't contain tits and ass I doubt people would brand it hottest these days. Shame.

Well I can't relate it to exciting music either. You reckon most people understood it different back then? I always thought it was an advertisement line used frequently, regardless if true or not ;)
It's hanging on my own wall and the wording plus the pink font colour has most of my visitors grinning when reading it

Probably it is the truth though... ;) :))
