Sheedy and Hird Commemorative Magazine

Post by swoodley »

I've just seen it advertised on bomberland and thought it might be good to get as it's only $10. Went to the "checkout" only to discover the farken postage is $10 as well. What a rip off.

Hopefully it's on sale at the club and I can get my sister to buy it for me (or maybe they'll sell it at the game in round 22)

If neither option is available, I suppose I'll just have to pay the damn postage as well but it will piss me off :x

Something at Bomberland overpriced? Surely not!

Now that's sarcasm.

$10 postage from Melbourne to WA for a magazine? Well, that's shit and sneaky. That's how a lot of eBay vendors operate.

People would be happier to pay $17.50 for the magazine + $2.50 postage.

Surely the magazine will be somewhat incomplete without a record / pictures of their last game in Melb / last game ever?

Yes, they should be less sneaky like they were with the premiership DVD pack: 4 DVDs for the discount price of $180.

I would rather buy broadband from Telstra.

Buy 3-4, keep it under the 2 kg limit and postage is still $10.

Of course, this is simpler if you can get 3-4 together that are interested.

Good point, however I might take quite a few snaps myself on Sunday and slip them in after the last chapter.

Unfortunately, it all finds it's way back to the big T somehow. Seems they've got at least a finger in every pot.

Maybe someone's done some good Photoshopping and made it happen. ;)
I'll get it, but you're right Staggy, it does seem incomplete without that.

Has anyone seen one of these mags yet?

Maybe postage won't be until September sometime? If so, then it just might include the whole package.

It would seem now is a better time to market the thing whilst web traffic is higher.

From todays MCC e-letter:

A special tribute magazine - Sheedy and Hird: Essendon Legends - celebrating the careers of Sheedy and Hird will be available from AFL Record sellers at Gate 2 for $10.

Save on the postage.

edit: Unfortunately for me I ordered 3 copies last night. :x

Wonder if they'll ever be available anywhere else other than the Bombershop? :P

I got mine for $7 bucks great magazine shall treasure it, I think I'm too young to truly appreciate this since Sheeds was there before I was born and Hirdy started when I was 2 but next year the next era begins and I'll be able to see it from start to finish.. hopefully.

I've got it. Well worth the $10 or even $20 if you have to pay to have it mailed.
