I'm totally hoping somebody had sale data from yesterday before the FLASH SALE offered those lucky folks that bought one the ultimate Easter gift.

331 remaining as of right now = 169/500 sold.

So at most, the flash sale moved 14 units.

They already made a 15% off offer on all items over $50.00 a few days ago. Seemed to have had no effect on the SIDDARTHA-sales. This is a new offer in despair.

I'm sure Billy will take a bundle of the boxes to his solo acoustic tour and sell them there for half of the original price...
Try to get No. 500 this way and you're the winner towards a No. 3 GeoF**ker.

You should kill yourself five times: twice for the discs you have heard and trice for the discs you propose to.

The saga continues...

From Zuzu's Facebook & Twitter
Quote:
Due to many inquiries, ZuZu's has decided to limit the AUTOGRAPHED edition of 'SIDDARTHA' to 250 copies. Though all remaining sets will still be hand-numbered and capped at 500 they will not be signed as previously indicated, which significantly adds to their affordability and access. So don't miss out! Purchase your own beautiful, hand-crafted edition today at a sale price of $159.95
http://www.madamezuzus.com/siddartha-box-set/
Quote:
Due to popular demand, we are now offering boxsets #251-500 as a 2nd edition from the 'Siddartha' show at Madame ZuZu's Teashop and Art Studio.
So basically, they're selling half of their stock at half price due to popular demand???
Does that make sense to anyone?

Surely they mean "Due to continuing apathy, we're selling this half price to free up some room in Billy's garage".

Also, Billy thinks his autograph is worth $215.05

Instead of being honest and just selling the thing at half price, they have to put on this big charade about how they have decided to limit that $375 exclusive autograph edition and have now created a 2nd edition (which is also exclusive) due to popular demand...

they don't want people who paid full price to get mad is probably why they did it this way

I've been trying for months to figure out why the packaging for this thing is so odd and then it hit me. It's a loot crate, Billy wanted to see if he could get people to spend hundreds on a loot crate.

HAHAHAHAHAHA what a load of bullsh-t that announcement is.

This reeks of "Damn, this isn't selling and we need a way to move these paperweights."

I doubt people will even drop the lowered price on this crap.

Can you imagine Billy's bruised ego? He seriously thought these would sell out.

Billy needs his Machina reissue funds :P

Eventually it will become when you buy $50 worth of tea products from the store, you'll get a free Siddhartha vinyl set with your order.

Possibly, but I think it was more likely announced this way to save face.

I'm sure the apathy stings more than any negative review ever did.

Holy shit, when did they sell 226?!? Last time I checked it was around 175 sold.

The 24hour flash sale with $125.00 off the normal price did have a little effect on the record sales. The counter might only show up with buyers who have paid their records. So there is some delay on it.

I think the most lol part of this whole thing is that we now have a 1st edition and a 2nd edition, meaning that they have divided the lot of units between two shelves above the employee toilet at Zuzu's.

Very interesting mystery speed sale of the autographed ones, because, yeah - it does seem like those numbers took a huge jump there.

Meanwhile, one more non-autographed version has sold, so we're up to 2/250 sold there.
