that's cool, but they still have a ways to go -- they claim their catalog is a fairly accurate representation of their stock, but i got ~ 40% fill on my order there just last week -- and one of the records they sent me was the wrong one, which i've now sent back for (hopefully) a replacement for the correct one. by contrast, once i got a wrong record from planet-x, they refunded it's price and just let me keep it, which was much less hassle, and hey free record for their foul-up..
