Whoah. I hadn't scrolled down all the way on that page. What a huge pic of the seller!

Yeah, Craig, that was one of the things that had crossed my mind when I mentioned that the ref# might be "misleading". Of course, it wasn't intentionally so(unless they saw you coming!). I just took another look at the Russian site and it clearly is offering it for sale. My ancestry isn't Russian(but neighboring)and I can't read it easily(where's all the Canadians of Russian descent or Russian immigrants?), but the end of the first line to the right of the cover picture shows 916.00p and the p is "ehr" or r and here refers to rubles(29 rubles in theory are worth $1 U.S.),so that's about $31 U.S. The following word, like[KynnTb] is roughly Koo-peet, which means buy. Clicking on it takes you to a buy screen which makes the offer even clearer, although most of the characters are cyrillic, of course. If you'd care to take a shot at calling the (095) 737-73-37 number shown(095 is the area code for Moscow)it might not run too much. I suspect that Prince is never going to see any royalties out of this operation, but it may otherwise be legit.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.

I'll hold out hope that perhaps I can find it in an English speaking country/website, or that someone who can read that site could order it for me.

Have him take a look at that site. If it truly looks legit, I'll order it.

Hi! I'm manager of site kupisam.ru you was talking about. We're advertises our clients` goods and the Prince's SACD is presented by Ozon.ru - largest, best and one of most known Russian online store. I definitely think this item is legit, so you can try to buy it without risk. Probably you'd like to email him orders@ozon.ru and ask for assistance. They deliver items overseas and accept credit cards (by the way, there are safe enough to pay by credit card for Russian companies; much safer than most of foreigners think). So if you really want to get this item I think you could get it. Good luck!

Part of the structure of the WWW is the ability for webservers to log referring URLs. When Spiff (and many others of us) clicked the link to the russian web site, their webserver logged the refferring URL -- which was this forum.

This is a handy feature for webmasters as it allows them to see what sites are linking to them.
