Beatles for sale? Well ...

Just saw that Amazon (in the U.S.) is no longer taking pre-orders for The Beatles mono box set. Guess it really was a limited edition after all.

How long to we see one up for auction on eBay with a starting bid of a million dollars or something like that?
The Beatles for sale, indeed!

the mono boxes were allocated. some retailers such as amazon have already sold through their allocation. street date at retail may be the last day they will be affordable.

I am locked in for my set, but I think EMI/Apple is insane to have a limited offering of the mono pressings. Surely, they are just testing the waters.

I ordered the stereo box set on amazon as well as the white album which is separate from the stereo box set--very good price on amazon 30% off--hope it sounds really good or it goes back to them !!

Thanks for posting this. It got got me off my behind and got a preorder in. Now, we'll see if I actually get it as I have been burned on pre orders before.

Ras422 -- You're post saying that the White Album is not part of the stereo boxed set scared me (since I ordered the set). So I checked the Amazon site and it is listed as part of the set. Thing is, the official name of the White Album is simply "The Beatles" and it's listed as part of the set. It's easy to cancel an order from Amazon if you don't want to have two copies of that one.
