Title: ?'s regarding the pricing of Sieghart (S/M) M10
Post by: barry guerrero on March 16, 2008, 04:56:19 AM: HMV has two listings for the Sieghart recording of M10 in the S/M version. The first one is expensive enough at 3,780 yen. But the second one says that it's a "limited edition" - whatever that means - selling for 34,200 yen! According to my converter, that would make it about $345 U.S. Is this most likely a misprint? Any explanations? I'll take my answers off the air.

Houston is a beautiful place in the summertime. With all the sweating that you'd do here, it does wonders for your skin! Okay, we do have lots of air conditioning in our shopping malls and restaurants.
