Wait, what the hell, BigFinish???
Okay, so another ranting complaint.
Was just checking out when I was due to subscribe for the next 12 Torchwood audioplays from Big Finish. Turns out that was last month.
Only, I go in to get the bundle and nearly die when I see the price tag. $179AUD for the bundle of 12. Yikes!
I checked my last invoice for the previous 12 episode bundle and it was only $94AUD. That is literally double the price! They said there'd be an increase, but seriously? That's gouging. You won't recoup your costs if you turn away all your customers.
I won't be in a hurry to buy more at that rate. Even a single episode is being charged at $16.81AUD which is scarcely less than the so-called discounted bundle ($14.95 per episode). Even the CD versions are becoming cheaper by comparison (only $25 extra to get it on digital download AND CD i.e. the CD costs you a whole $2). Not to mention they always charge an international conversion fee on top, even thought they've already quoted the local price on the website and at the checkout.
I will be waiting an age for BF to discount it back down to something reasonable.
Outrageous.

Then they'll be wondering why people aren't buying and subscribing. It's because we need our money for food and heating. We can't afford over-inflated prices for luxuries.

ONLY YOU GET SLUGGED ANOTHER $79 IN POSTAGE!!! $284 FOR 12 CDs!!! That's almost the same price as a third party Australian re-seller, who'll charge $30 each and free postage. You'd be better off taking your chances on Ebay right now and getting it cheaper.
