At the risk of being critisised for promoting my website, I have launched one last bid attempt to promote the site by getting my girlfriend to pose for some pictures with the Discarrays, as it has been suggested that the images I have on the site are boring.
If this does not work I may have to fold it. Oh well, back to the drawing board.
I've priced five at half price on ebay to promote the site, so if anybody wants to take advantage, please feel free to visit. Here's the link.

The preserved remains of two prehistoric men discovered in an Irish bog have revealed a couple of surprises --- one used hair gel and the other stood 6 foot 6 inches high, the tallest Iron Age body discovered.
"He would have been a giant...the other man was quite short, about 5 foot 2 inches," said Ned Kelly, head of antiquities at the National Museum of Ireland.
"The shorter man appeared to attempt to give himself greater stature by a rather curious headdress
which was a bit like a Mohican-style with the hair gel, which was a resin imported from France," Kelly told BBC radio.

In competitions, isn't it customary not to charge the winner for their prize?
Why would anyone want to take you up on this, when you've already said they're on sale on ebay at half the normal price of ?16.99, which would make the ebay ones cheaper than the competition 'prize'?

I still wouldn't buy one, mind- but it was a good effort and managed to make me laugh.

I would like to open my own compeition here if no-one minds.
I am pleased to offer a Prize of ?9.99 for the first person to shove a disc array up their arse.
Applicants must be aged 18 or over and only one 'entry' per household. Dics array purchase neccesary, medical certificates accepted as proof. We accept no liability if competitors do themselves an injury.
I have to say at least Tarantino is trying to make an honest living here, and he usually takes the usual message board salvo with remarkably good grace. I hope my post isn't the final straw, if so, apologies in advance Mr T, I really have just got very bored clearing stuff out of my house.

Unless you get a scantily clad foxy chick with every order, in which case i think its a good deal!

Blimey, I've just come back to this thread. Controversial as usual, of well I set myself up, so I guess I have to take it on the chin.
Point taken about the comp. Ok, if anyone can tell me what all the films are, on both Discarrays, then I'll send them one free of charge, as long as they review it on this site.
I've had a lot of stick about them on this site but I've had orders from board users, although I will observe customer confidentiality. I would be happy for whoever gets the freebie to give their honest opinion.
I've sold 500 over 2 years, so I must be doing something right, I just can't find a retail outlet who will take them on.

You should take one on the next series of Dragons Den and see if yuo can get them stocked in Staples.
And then try asking for 100k to buy up as many issue two's as you can. They'd snap your hands off.

Sorry but I really don't rate it as having any chance on Dragons Den - that point about costing more to take up more space. People have dozens, even hundreds of CDs, it would fill the whole house up with the things, they would have to store the booklets or throw them away, and there are already CD carry cases for storage. my advice would be try again.

I actually kind of like the idea, especially useful for the lazy people you know who have discs all over the floor.
I usually have a small stack of CD's next to the hifi because they are currently in rotation and I like the idea of having the cases on the shelves and just swapping them from the wall.
Still not going to buy one though.

Why, Adrian; that would be a crazy idea! I think the suggestion is that one has about 10 CDs out at a time and puts the ones that are in use on this wall display thing because they are nice to look at.
Alternatively, you could do what I do and put the CD you've taken out of the player back into its own box or put it temporarily in the box of the CD you've just taken the next one out of.

Admittedly, my personal biological sound-recreation equipment is a bit pants, but the theory works.

Actually, I feel a bit guilty for mocking - Tarantino, are you looking for a new idea for enterprise?
