I only have 3 or 4 of these CD's left now. I got a couple of boxes from a closed down dealer, along with a fistful of the Martin Taylor CD's.

Happy to give them away with gift shop orders, so hurry!

How many CDs have B&O made? I have Open Mind Vol3 and This is different. I guess there was Open Mind Vol1 and Vol2. Were there other ones? The (very complete) product list on our site does not list them...

I received a couple of days ago my Beoworld T shirt (sky / navy) and

I am very pleased of it!

It is made with a beautiful quality and very nicely finished.

An extra gift accompanied the T-shirt: an exemplar of Open Mind vol.3 CD!

Many thanks, Lee for this very pleasant surprise! I am currently listening to it

on a Beosystem 4500 / Beolab 5000… Great!!!

However, in the meantime, anyone that pays the ludicrous shipping charge on the pen will get an Open Mind CD thrown in. I bought 2 boxes of them from a closed down dealer, and still have just over a box left!
Sound fair?
After reading jacobyte's post here I have to ask if you really hate selling pens...

I ordered a pen. I remember that post. As I heard the "This is different" CD, I don't suspect the "Open mind" to be much better. But I didn't order the pen to get the CD (though I sure welcome it), but to help Beoworld...

I just wanted to order a Beoworld Pen, but just before paying, I noticed that I would have heen charged 15 € for delivery; double the price of the pen. I think I will wait till I win one...

You are correct there Tom. It's something i chose to live with, and here is the reason... (i will hide nothing!)

To build in a custom payment system that calculates shipping according to individual items, weights, and combinations would have cost around another £800. This would have meant the Gift Shop having its own CMS system that was custom written to work with BeoWorld.

Seeing as the average profit for BeoWorld is about £2 per item, it would have taken FOUR HUNDRED sales just to break even. so, it was decided that we would try and work out an average shipping price, and to do this we added the shipping cost of the heaviest item (mug or long sleeve polo) and the lightest item (pen) and divided it by two. We didn't expect massive sales of merchandise, and were hugely over budget, so opted for this method for the time being.

Once all the loans are paid off, and BeoWorld is in the clear, i will spend every extra penny on improving elements such as this.

However, in the meantime, anyone that pays the ludicrous shipping charge on the pen will get an Open Mind CD thrown in. I bought 2 boxes of them from a closed down dealer, and still have just over a box left!

Sound fair?
