I was like that when I wanted to buy Hatchie's Sugar & Spice EP from the Hatchie website when it was first released. I was aghast to find at the very end of the transaction that the $10 CD had a shipping cost of $8.50. (Postage wasn't mentioned at any other time during the purchasing procedure.) I backed out of that transaction quick smart pronto. (It took an email to the seller to cancel the sale, but they were understanding, and cancelled it, so all's well that ends well.)

I don't mind paying a couple of dollars for postage (it's usually only a PostPak for a CD to go interstate), but when it's almost the cost of the CD... well, that just freaks me out, man.

I was relieved to see it available a little while later on eBay for $9, with free shipping.

Yes, lots of hidden traps in the internet - I guess you'll be posting the CD and saving us the postage?  Sorry, bad joke....

Just arrived back in oz via Dubai and Japan, to be greeted with all this wild weather, in Sydney, in the past few days and telemarketers telling me that my telstra connection will be cut off and the ATO threatening to arrest me!

It was a long os trip, constantly being on the move, some of the memorable moments/places were,
Munich Oktoberfest - sneaking into the place, past security, behind some horses pulling wagons, as security had told my wife a few times that her handbag was too big, to be allowed inside.
Paris - buying beer at MacDonalds
Berlin - riding a bikes on the abandoned Tempelhof airfield
Dubai - visiting the Gold Souk area, in Al Ras, Diera. Gold everywhere with aggressive salespeople.
Dubai International Terminal 3 - Moving around in one huge place with inter-connected concourses. Takes about 40 minutes to walk from gate A to C.
Japan - Coming across wild monkeys in Nikko and seeing the autumn leaves.
Japan - Visiting the Yodabashi camera store in Akihabara. Eight floors of electronics. Saw an 8K TV in here.

I could have sworn I had put it in a discussion thread

I don't mind when they are maximized (without clipping), but when they Brickwall them like that, clipping the peaks it drives me mad.  There is no need for it, why sacrifice sound quality to make it louder?  If you want it louder, turn up the volume on your system!
