1kyle Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 (edited) Hi everybody and a happy new year.Particularly to our US colleagues who seem to be having trouble in finding and getting HI-MD blanksThis place still has plenty of them and (for the UK at least) at reasonable prices. -- Also as US customer you should be able to get the VAT back.(Note UK websites unlike a lot of US places don't usually have a problem with Overseas transactions -- rather strange when the US is normally the country supposed to be peddling the idea of Free Unfettered International trade). Also please be aware that the USD is fairly low against the GBP and EUR at the moment so these disks might seem more expensive than you would normally pay in the US --but if you can't find them over there then at least this is a source.These one's are the Blue Sony packs not the original which came in those hideous oversize cases.http://www.discountdiscs.co.uk/Merchant2/m...gory_Code=blankHave funCheers-K Edited January 2, 2007 by 1kyle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philpem Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 http://www.discountdiscs.co.uk/Merchant2/m...gory_Code=blankIt's probably worth pointing out that most of the UK Sony Centres keep them in stock - Leeds are still pushing the RH1 (there's one in the display cabinet, so I assume they've got a couple in stock). 1GB HiMDs are currently £12 for a pack of two, so £1 more expensive than Discount Discs, but still not a bad price for ones-and-twos...

peter312 Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 The best price I have seen is £7.74 for a pack of 2 from Amazon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobShaz Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 I still think Canada has the cheapest HiMD blanks. I pay $6.49 for one at London Drugs, and they've recently done away with the blank media tariff on all MiniDiscs too (or at least they don't add it anymore at London Drugs). They also have lots of HiMD blanks in stock.[ FYI 6.49 Canadian is currently £2.84 and $5.51 US. ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A440 Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 They're only $4.44 each plus very reasonable shipping at http://www.tapewarehouse.com, probably because no one can find them on the website. Click for the Catalog under Shop on the home page (middle right). Then: Category: Digital AudioProduct Line: Mini Disc AudioItem: SCM HMD1G HI-MD DISC Confusing, but they are available.
