Anyone remember their great Herman's Hermits sale a couple years back? Lately I've been getting some pretty amazing sale offers from them. This just came in:

"Minimum Order for this promotion = $450 (order $450 of goods, you pay only $150 after the applying the $300 gift card)"

The discount has been going up every few days.

I should probably take a thorough walk through the site. Unfortunately, they mostly have vinyl, & mostly reggae (which I don't like)

I purchased a bunch of Bear Family product from him at very good prices. He hasn't had any other in over a year. Great place to purchase items,

Really stinks about Bear Family. They were the best source by far.

I would think anyone who has an account should be getting the same emails I am; I've only bought 1 thing from them.

Latest coupon is 70%. I suspect they are shutting down. I'm going to have to browse the website. Unfortunately, their main genre's don't tend to interest me (Vinyl, Reggae & oldies). Unfortunately they're generating 1 use only codes, or I would share it.

I finally looked at their website. Other than reggae, there's little left. I bought1 cd: Chris Stainton's Tundra that I used to own on vinyl. They were cheaper than Amazon (especially with no sales tax) &way cheaper than ebay. Came to 10.93 shipped. Nothing else was even tempting.

Geff was right in his prediction:

Hello,

Spend $20 for $200 of goods! Or $0 for $400! Or, take advantage of a larger gift card amount: 8 gifts cards in this email, use ANY or ALL of them. 90% off everything in stock.

Special note: Ernie is no longer with the company; due to lack of funds Ernie and the rest of the employees were laid off over the course of the last year. For those of you who wish to get in touch with Ernie, he can be reached at his new music mail-order company:

FYI: I got badly SCREWED on the shipping on an order they were 50% out of a couple weeks ago. It appears they are down to Reggae. I am looking, so far 0 rock or jazz.

Here's the text of an email I just received:

Hello,

Many of our customers have asked "where is Ernie B?" and "where can I buy records now that EBrecords is closed?" Good news: the answer to both questions is is that since Ernie was laid off from EBrecords earlier this year (due lack of funds), he has been hard at work starting his new music mail-order and distribution company "Millions of Records".

Ernie can be reached at:
Email: Ernie@MillionsOfRecords.com
Website: http://www.MillionsOfRecords.com
Ernie tells us you can also text him at (916) 586-9410, 24 hours/7 days.

We sincerely thank you for all of your business, and we trust that Ernie can supply you with plenty of records (reggae and all other genres as well).

We feel terrible that EBrecords couldn't survive, however we are thankful for the 24-year run you have given us. Thank you!

Best Regards,

EBrecords Crew
