Yesterday, I received a catalog from J&R Music World (Fall 1983, catalog 830A). On page 187, it lists Commodore 64 Software Programming Series V64 Simons Basic (Cartridge) retail price-$34.95 your cost-$19.95 I've never done any business with this company, so I can't vouch for them. As a matter of fact, a section named Shipping & Delivery says All orders are processed immediately upon receipt. Actual shipping time is contingent on availablity of merchandise and credit verifications. Every effort will be made, either at the time of taking the phone order or in writing shortly thereafter, to inform you of anticipated delays. If you have placed an order for a product which has not been released by the manufacturer, and you have decided not to wait for delivery, we will be happy to send a refund within 7 working days. That implies to me that J&R charges you credit card when you order rather than when they ship. Ask them about it and about product availability if you order. They have a minimum order of $25.00 (they list lots of C64 programs from UMI, Sirius, Commodore, Timeworks, Power Byte, and HesWare), shipping is 5% ($3.95 minimum), and they charge 15% for restocking returns. They are J&R Music World 23 Park Row New York, NY 10038 (800) 221-8180 (orders except from AK, HI, NY, & Canada) (212) 732-8600 (orders) (212) 233-0857 (customer service) -Fred Jacobson (jacobson@uwisc)
