    Major shame for employees but shops like HMV were over-charging for years - and I'm not talking relative to Amazon. I was paying £15-16 for a new CD album in 1996. Major gouging was the norm until very recently when they realised the game was up and they had lost a captive market.

    If you get in early enough i'm sure there will be. When woolworths went bust i got the full rockband kit for 40 quid, was worth around the ton mark at the time.

    Woolworths stopped accepting them when i worked there during administration, as did ethel austin, i've not got a great track record :56: but you might be out of luck, hopefully not though.
