Down the Line - specifically getting hold of it

How does one procure Down the Line without taking out a mortgage or three these days?  I had the first three series downloaded, but fucked if I can find them now - I fear they were on a hard drive that died last year - and the CDs, which used to go for a couple of quid per series, are now going for three fucking figures. 

WHA' HAPPEN!?!?!?!?

It'll not be long before someone here pops along with a link. That's how I and a good few others got it.

Shit Good Nose

Well that would be amazing.

Why are the CDs so fucking expensive now though, and how long have they been on for those prices?

magval

It's either a pricing algorithm, or someone got lucky selling an OOP comedy series, set a precedent and it's never been challenged by the sort of "it's only worth what you're willing to pay for it" common sense espoused by my dear old dad.

Online aftermarket, in two words.

What a crazy world we live in!!


Some legendary CaBbers have sorted me out - thank you you amazing cunts.

What is point pricing algorithm?

The original price was fine, why do they have to keep mucking about with things?

I guess it monitors typical movement and then keeps prices "realistic" on a day to day basis and based on what's available at any one time.  A bit like how something could go at an auction for £100 one day because three or four of the "right" people were all bidding.  But take the exact same item to auction the next day and there's only one person interested and it sells for a fiver.  Bargain.  Lucky cunt.

So did I, but from Amazon.

I could've sworn they were also on Audible but I can't see them now. And nothing on Radio iPlayer (complete randomness when/if they get put up). They're practically forcing us to go illegals.
