i think $200 is a little over priced for this. But if you are to lay your hands on a used one that is in excellent condition you should get them between $50-$100. Price apart, this is a must have collection for PF fans. One stop shop for all PF music. And the book is absolutely great with all lyrics and rare pictures. This was a 20 years celebration release.
When I was a young adult I had every album Pink Floyd had out and suddenly I lost interest. Years later I decided to get them back. Some of them are hard to find. Someone told me there was a boxed set out with most of the albums, now CDs, in the boxed set. YEAAAH! The boxed set comes with a book and the early years CD, talking about having a flashback. I heard it cost at least 150 dollars, when it came out...WOW! I saw it for a much cheaper price on ebay and mama didn't raise a fool, I bought it. I am pretty much satisfied with it. Only thing I don't like about it, they are not vinyl records just for the sake of breaking out the old record player. This set is a must have for any rock fan. I don't think there's anyone out there who hasn't heard or heard of Pink Floyd: The Wall or Dark side of the Moon albums, just excellent. No matter what what kind of system you have or the music form, Pink Floyd Rocks!
I really love this box set. I'm a huge Pink Floyd fan and this piece is a nice addition to my collection. The CD's chosen for this set are great ones, the book is wonderful, and the packaging is just cool! :) This set is highly recommended!
The user that says that a used box set in great condition should go for between $50.00- $100.00 defiantly is not a PINK FLOYD FAN OR JUST CHEAP I'll buy all you can find for that !!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is Probably the BEST box set ever released BAR NONE !! THIS IS A MUST HAVE FOR ALL TRUE PINK FLOYD FANS BUT SUPPLY AND DEMAND COME IN TO PLAY HERE BECAUSE IT IS OUT OF PRINT AND THEY MADE A HELL OF A LOT LESS BOX SETS THAN THEY HAVE FANS !!!! I BOUGHT MINE ON EBAY AND PAID MORE THAN $100.00 AND IT'S WORTH EVERY SINGLE PENNY !!!! SHINE ON ME CRAZY DIAMONDS FOREVER !!!!!!!!!
GREAT SERVICE WAS A PERFECT GIFT FOR MY 65 YEAR OLD BROTHER THE PINK FLOYD FAN FROM HELL !!!!!!!!! THE TIMING WAS PERFECT HE GOT IT SOONER THAN I THOUGHT
This was the first time that I was ever involved with E-Bay. What I was looking for was the Pink Floyd Box Set which is rare. It was created in 1992 and there were only so many copies made. This would make a nice graduation gift for my friend so I though it was worth a try to get set up on E-Bay and begin bidding. The bidding went well at first but then it was rather competitive. Anyway, to make a long story short, I won the bid and price was of no object to me for this particular item. After making payment, the item was on my doorstop in two days! This item was brand new and the seal was never broken. It was a great first time expeience with E-Bay and I look forward to maybe down the line trying to sell a few items. A rating of Excellent would be in good order!
This is one of my favorite purchases for the simple fact that Pink Floyd is my all time favorite band. The seller of this item sold me exactly what was on the listing. It was in immaculate condition and the sound quality is out of this world , not to mention a huge assortment of bonus features.
This box set is one of the best buys I have made on ebay. The quality of the cd's was immaculate. I decided to buy this item because Pink Floyd is my all time favorite band, and I felt like a stuck gold when I won this item. Thank you to the seller of this item.
We purchased this as a gift for a friend who's so into Pink Floyd that he actually believes humans have walked on the Dark Side of the Moon. When he received it, his eyes lit up, shinning on like crazy diamonds. From what we now know, we believe he's Learning to Fly a single engine airplane while he's still young enough and has enough money, and before he lapses into Brain Damage.
Seriously, the package arrived just as advertised, just what we wanted as a gift and just what he wanted.
The great thing about good buying experiences on eBay is the value each purchase has to someone. And by using the feedback as a meter, you know you can buy with confidence when looking for a particular item for yourself, loved one or friend.
It was a good experience. Keep in mind that very few of anything can actually rate a 5 of 5 or excellent, but this deal was pretty close.
First of all, it's a good feeling having a neutral site take care of both ends of all transactions. I would like to tell you the reason for my Shine On purchase by Pink Floyd, i once got rid of it because i needed extra $, and i have felt sick ever since, i am a music collector and this release is not produced anymore. Ebay had people selling this product with a good description of what i was getting. I am very pleased to have a big part of my collection back on my rack. I know where to turn when i am looking for something special for myself or someone else. Thanks Ebay! Bill Whitt Essex IA

Pink Floyd - Shine On

Pros: The heyday of Pink Floyd and the Early Singles
Cons: Two negligible discs and some superfluous packaging
Every record company was jumping on the box set gravy train in the late 80s and early 90s and, as a consumer, the quality of one's box set purchase was more or less left to chance. Some dreadfully bad rip-offs were floating around the market, but some brilliant editions were available as well, for enthusiasts and collectors alike. Shine On is one of the high quality box sets, for the most part. What you get in the package is eight postcards showing close ups of the covers from the albums contained therein (including Shine On itself) along with a specially designed envelope to hold them in, a..
