776.0. "any cd: $9.98?" by REGENT::POWERS () Mon Jun 08 1987 11:03

In last Thursday's (4 June) Boston Globe "Calendar" was the following ad:

	+----------------------------------+
	|          ANY CD $9.98            |
	|                                  |
	|       LP or Tape.....$4.49       |
	|      Send $1.00 for catalog      |
	|    & info to: MUSIC UNLIMITED    |
	| PO Box 220, Lincoln, Mass. 01773 |
	+----------------------------------+

Is it straight?  Has anybody seen their catalog?
Is it "any CD" or "any CD we got"?

I'm always suspicious of places that don't have telephone numbers listed...

(or maybe N.E.T. just doesn't have it yet).
776.2Probably means "any CD that we happen to carry"STAR::BECKPaul BeckMon Jun 08 1987 23:0710
    re .1
    
    Do you have any idea how difficult it is to get a phone line
    installed in the back of a van?
    
    
    
    Yes, I've heard of cellular phones, and no, I don't know anything
    about this operation. Sounds rather like they're trying to make
    enough money on catalogs to offset the discount.

    We had a spate of this kind of ad in the UK about 10 years ago (BBVD's - Big
    Black Vinyl Discs). An awlful lot of people lost money, including
    me !!.
