Years ago, when Hayley Westenra’s My Gift to You album came out, I was unable to acquire a copy, on account of it having been released only in New Zealand, and further on account of me not living at the time in New Zealand.

Now, I’ve paid a return visit to eBay where I see I can not only buy a copy,  but can get it on sale!  For more money!  Wait…

A New Type of Sale?

I have no objection at all to paying that price, of course.  It’s just not particularly good marketing in the eBay listing.  Earlier this year, one of the 70 copies of her very first CD sold on eBay for over $3,000 (says Wikipedia — and for once I believe it, since if I had $3,000 to spend on a CD, that’s the one I’d choose), so an extra $7.36 is, in fact, quite a bargain.
