It seems like the among Roxette people well known store in Halmstad is no more. Their homepage is gone and the store is completely empty, according to a friend of mine who wanted to visit the store today.

Last summer, in august, we were in halmstad.
The store was at that moment complete empty, except for the roxette-stuff.
But it was already closed by then.

Considering the prices (and also the slightly strange opening hours), I was surprised that it ever managed to last that long...

I agree! Their prices were sick! I never bought a single record that had anything to do with Roxette in there. Other CDs on the other hand they were not that bad with I think.

If i remember correctly no CD Maxi’s were priced under 150 SEK...
... but they had a good selection of rare items (that is if they ever actually stocked them!!)

When I was there I saw they even sold common self-made CD-R’s as bootlegs...in a shop :S

EMI is after them so maybe that’s why they packed up their bags and left.
purplemedusa said on October 15, 2004 13:54:
Vixz, yeah you’re prolly right... there’s somany places these days that offer the items at much better rates... and much easier methods of payments too. If I remember correctly, they only functioned on mail order... no credit card or paypal options.

That would be nice, too! *g* But I think it’s more because of copyright infringement *thinksofunofficialDVDsandsoon* ;-)

@roxgirl: I guess because they did sell those illegal bootleg CDrs. Or was there another reason Tevensso?

I bought quite a bit on my first trip there, but then again that was back in the days I wasted money...

They are selling there records at Tradera.com. Alias: Roadhouze! :)
AntiMario said on October 17, 2004 19:55:
roadhouse at tradera??? They have craziest prices then! Only idjit would buy
tevensso (moderator) said on October 18, 2004 08:25:
Because of their extensive range of Gessle bootlegs of course... I know you all think that bootlegs are illegal but sort of allowed. Let me assure you the record companies do NOT allow these things.

technicaly roxbytes doesnt offer anything for record compnaies to get that upset about though.
Vixzter said on November 10, 2004 18:05:
yea but its techincaly nothing for record companies to worry about like songs that can be brought freely on cds in shops, and they are not selling anything for their own gain
Vixzter said on November 15, 2004 20:14:
i liked bootlegs when they were proper cds and not some home made thing on a pc

They accepted bank cheques - and that is the CHEAPEST moneyorder.

I was there over the last august and I noted the music store almost empty. there were only a few items of roxette but the prices were terribly expensive.
