Hi Guys
I'm looking for a imported CD (you dont want to know what it is)

I've founded on EBAY but it seems the only European sellers have it and they ask too much for it and shipping. I've had good lucky buying imports from this Canada site eh!

but this time it has let me down

does anyone know of any other canadian sites or other international sites?

Hmmmmm, you might want to try
http://www.fye.com or <a href="
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redir ... zon.com</a> amazon usually has pretty decent prices. I have to go online now to get my imported Backstreet Boys cds. (Feel free to tease me, I've heard them all by now)

It would be much easier if you told what CDs that you where looking for instead of others making a long threed of sugestions of stores that does not have it.
Maybee the CD is not availeble in stores anymore as well, and that is the reason for the high prices on Ebay.

ok don't laugh I know this is a old cd and most will laugh but i happen to like it since it brings back memories

well during my travels outside the states I acquired Ace of Base - Happy Nation U.S Version with 3 exra tracks this seems to be a internation release since it was never released in the states. my copy has "mysteriously" dissapeared. So I need to replace it. Ebay has them but all the sellers are international sellers. I was just wondering if any online retailers had these in their imports for cheap since it's been like 10 years since its been released (I feel old!) anyways
Thanks!

Don't be embarassed! I love Ace of Base (well, just the CD w/ The Sign). One of their songs makes an appearance on most of my mixed CDs. Apparently they are still huge in some places. It really brings back memories of my elementary school days, so it's so much fun to break out! Hope you find it... have you tried their website?

Oh ok, sorry it didn't work out.

Hope you find it elsewhere. I have the plain jane American release, but I guess that's now what you're wanting.

A lot of people on amazon.co.uk have it.
I guess it is the 15 tracks CD that you are thinking of, and several of the sellers on Amazon have it for a fear price.

The problem is the pound is strong against the dollar at the moment (and thus the dollar is weak against the pound - something I'm taking full advantage of while I can).
Importing from Amazon.co.uk will be quite an expensive action. It just depends on how much MMB is willing to pay (at least Amazon.co.uk will deduct 17.5% from American Orders, as they don't need to pay VAT - our local sales tax)
MMB - you can check currency rates here (we are GBP or if you want to select off the list "British Pound"):
