OK, most people (myself included) probably don't need 172 CDs of Bach, great though he was.
However, when the complete Hanssler Classics Bach Edition can be snapped up for such a loony price as this, I can make an exception.
Just ordered mine from here:
http://www.zweitausendeins.de/indexengl.htm
(Click 'Specials' and scroll down to 'The Complete Bach')
Postage to the UK will cost about £6, making the whole deal about eighty-odd notes. Not bad considering that Amazon.com are currently offering it for $1800! My understanding is that the cheaper version is pressed under license in E. Europe and comes with literature in German, but has English translations on a CD rom. Though at this price, I won't complain about that.
Hope this is of interest to someone. It's too good a deal to keep to myself.
BTW - I have done business with zweitausendeins on several occasions - delivery to UK takes about 10 days. I've never had any cause for complaint.
Cheers

Wondering how it is possible to sell a 172 CD set for this money and still allow a profit to be made by all concerned.......or by anybody at all!
