There's always the flight option...

How about a UK based friend?

Well my new wife and I are taking our honeymoon in Las Vegas at the end of the month, so if I win big, I'll pick up a ticket and fly over.

Back to reality...

Anybody wanna make friends?

Well, I have rubbed the guy up the wrong way for so much of this thread, I should probably volunteer here!

There is a Tesco opposite me and if there is the set there, we can talk further. If you're serious about it and have a PayPal account, and if you are good for the price of the set, postage and whatever commission PayPal will take off me for the pleasure of a transaction then I daresay we're good to go.

Let me know.

Cheers.

I ordered mine from The Book People a couple of days ago! I've always wanted a complete Bond collection with the same cover design and I love these covers! I wish Colonel Sun would be brought out in a similar cover style (and Per Fine Ounce, of course!!! :tup:)

Does anybody know where I can get this box set for fair price? Seems like the bookpeople bargain is still available, too bad they don't ship outside the UK. Amazon.co.uk is not selling this at the moment and the only interesting market place seller does not seem to offer shipment outside the UK either.

Any clues? Would be much appreciated.

I snagged my box set from eBay for around AU$100. That'd be your best bet, I'd say.
