Wasn’t there once a band called Thrupenny Bit? “Sail On Sailor 1972 has decreased from £98.70 to £98.67” Or was it Tuppenny Bit? “Sail On Sailor 1972 has decreased from £98.67 to £98.65” Will two and two make five? “Sail On Sailor 1972 has decreased from £98.65 to £98.63”

Why is there not an over/under contest in the works to reward the loyal readers who've been following this epic "purchase foreplay event" so that whoever makes the closest guess as to the actual date that John finally bites the bullet might win a pot of shillings (or maybe "Kokomo bucks" gift certificates!) from this very slow-motion suspense thriller? I know we aren't supposed to actually gamble on here, but maybe the powers-that-be can figure out a workaround that turns this into a sporting event? Will John buy the set before or after the next US presidential election? Or before Elon Musk's SpaceX actually gets off the ground? Since this thread is primarily about money, what say we find a way to make somebody some money off of it, even as John tries to save as much as he can??!

Another tuppence…starting to suspect that Amazon uk’s head of pricing is a member of this board.

Ed, you’ve excelled yourself.
6CD: “Sail On Sailor 1972 has decreased from £98.56 to £98.52” Big vinyl: “Sail On Sailor 1972 has decreased from £149.99 to £128.99” Little vinyl: “Sail On Sailor 1972 has decreased from £39.03 to £38.98”
Not nearly enough but good effort, ta.

So the Sailor could sail the 'So Tough/Holland Boxed Set' thread into the sunset. That thread had served its main purpose already.

Loop-de-loop flip-flops:
Super-deluxe CD: “Sail On Sailor 1972 has decreased from £98.38 to £98.37” Super-deluxe vinyl: “Sail On Sailor 1972 has decreased from £149.99 to £147.36” 2CD: “Sail On Sailor 1972 has decreased from £18.52 to £18.33.”
2LP & 7”: “Sail On Sailor 1972 has increased from £36.98 to £37.83”
These are mostly very minor fluctuations. Do not read this post.
