11 Oct 10 - 04:25 PM (#3004678) Subject: RE: BS: Ordering from Amazon From: CET I've noticed that on some threads there is an Amzon.com icon which takes you directly to the Amazon site, and from there I can navigate to the Amazon.ca site. Does this have the same effect of giving Mudcat a cut of the price? |

11 Oct 10 - 06:26 PM (#3004746) Subject: RE: BS: Ordering from Amazon From: maeve I suggest you use the direct links already provided at the top of this page, right hand side, under the search box. Both Camsco Music and Amazon links are thoughtfully presented there. |

11 Oct 10 - 06:39 PM (#3004750) Subject: RE: BS: Ordering from Amazon From: CET I see a link to Amazon (but not to Camsco) at the top of the page directly above the posts. However, my query was whether Mudcat gets a cut if I use that link and buy something. |

11 Oct 10 - 06:42 PM (#3004751) Subject: RE: BS: Ordering from Amazon From: maeve The answer is "Yes!" Dick's Camsco link is just above the Amazon links. By the way, I discovered that the disappearing links reappeared when I reloaded the page. Good luck to you, CET. |

They still always know it's me, but evidently they also know it's Mudcat, and toss a little in Max's guitar case. :) SRS |

12 Oct 10 - 01:27 AM (#3004960) Subject: RE: Ordering from Amazon-to benefit Mudcat From: Joe Offer I hate seeing those links. amazonUK.mudcat.org has American Elektra recordings on MP3 that we can't get in the United States. I tried to download The Many Sides of Sandy Paton, and I got this notice:
Please refer to the terms of use for this product to determine the geographical restrictions. We apologize for the inconvenience. -Joe- |

12 Oct 10 - 04:59 AM (#3005018) Subject: RE: Ordering from Amazon-to benefit Mudcat From: Sandra in Sydney I tried to buy a hard cover picture book using the mudcat amazon link & wasn't allowed! Maybe the supplier didn't want to post it to Australia, but there was nothing on the page to say that. I deleted the email, so can't remember the exact words, but they they didn't explain why. So I went elsewhere, found another copy (also in US) & paid for it, only to receive a very apologetic email & refund the next day saying the bookseller couldn't find it on their shelves!! So I gave up - temporarily. sandra |

12 Oct 10 - 10:12 PM (#3005648) Subject: RE: Ordering from Amazon-to benefit Mudcat From: Q (Frank Staplin) Restrictions on where a product may be sold are frustrating. Sometimes they can be defeated by going to the used book dealers. They are supposed to comply, but if they are ignorant of the licensing areas, one might as well take advantage. For used cds, go directly to one of the dealer sites; if you try to access through Amazon, etc., the no-no provision is applied. |
