I got Seal Best on ebay for £15. The seller didn't realise it was a DVD-A as he had never watched the videos on the disc.Seal II DVD-audio/cd 2 disc set new and sealed $19.99
O'Jays "Ship Ahoy" SACD $8 US looking brand new at a used record shop.
David Bowie "Ziggy Stardust" SACD $4.99 US new and sealed from Borders a few month before they closed
Thats a great Ziggy find, Green!
It appears Borders in the USA was a different beast to Borders over here in the UK, in this country they were USELESS..!! No small wonder they went bust!
Borders' flagship British store on Londons' Oxford Street was massive and often virtually free of customers on the upper floors where their music & video departments were situated - and when you trekked all the way up there, the racks were mostly disappointingly full of very ordinary CDs & DVDs you could get just about anywhere. I don't think I ever saw an SACD or DVDA in there over the years. If they did have any, they were extremely well hidden!
The best UK high street chain for Hi-Res here back in the day was easily the Virgin Megastore (also on London's Oxford Street). I got a good few of my best SACD & DVDAs there all those years ago.
HMV had a separate DVDA section for a good few years (that got depressingly smaller and smaller as the format died!) though they never had an SACD section, those were always just lumped in with all the regular CDs.
The Borders (here in NZ) wasn't that great either. I did find some Depeche Mode SACDs though. I should have picked up a couple of back-up copies of Violator .
You can still get Violator and many of the Depeche Mode SACDs (Collector's Editions) from mutebank for about £16.

It's not clear on the website but the UK collector's editions are SACDs the US versions are not. The ones I've ordered are SACDs though.uh oh! I feel a meltdown of the Mute site coming on!
Hmm, I need to check then. I can't do that until Thursday.aren't those the Redbook CDs with DTS DVDs, rather than the SACDs + DVDs!?
if so, they are still easy to get in places like HMV for that price.

I just checked and some of the editions I ordered were from CD WOW. I'm not at home until Thursday so I need to double check my purchases as I did get some from mutebank too. I don't want to mislead anyone so I'd rather check.ah ok, sorry my mistake, I didn't realise that. that's good to know, thank you!
do you know for sure that all the UK Collectors' Editions are definitely SACD though?
I only ask as I've bought two different DM Collectors' Eds' over the years that had the (teeny-weeny!) SACD logo on the back cover.. but turned out to have just a redbook CD in them instead.

the last time I was in HMV Oxford Street, they had at least half a dozen DM titles in CD + DVD format, at around £20-odd each.
