Just quickly bought three things of Sherlock und Doctor Who which I didn't need but wanted to have.

You overdid it again?

Wow...that is a  bit bad.

It does seem that they're simply not shifting stuff through their Shop.  I can't think of any other reason why a "limited edition" boxset of all three seasons of Sherlock was selling so badly that they never reached their 'limit' and had to reduce it from £125 (or whatever it originally was) to £25 on a special 'today only' offer (and yes, I took advantage of that ...).  And since then (and even before the shut-down announcement) they brought in other drastic price cuts, so clearly they were charging far too much and so nobody was buying anything.  If that's the case, then they've only got themselves to blame.

Probably they assumed that Sherlock fangirls would buy anything, and have now learned that we're not as stupid and gullible as they think.  What annoyed me was the way that they (and Sherlockology who, I suspect, are on retainer) tried to make each of their special offers sound like "Look how generous we're being to you!" rather than "Oh, please buy something!"

BBC shop has a US and Canada store also, but based on the prices it doesn't appear to be closing, which was confusing me yesterday.  But based on your original post in this thread it is just the UK shop - which I don't think is open to Canadians anyway, and the DVDs wouldn't be my region anyway, probably.

Multi- region DVDs will work for you in Canada. Region 2 ones won't.

Brilliant sale ​ I bagged SO many bargains before much of it sold out. Loved the bronze busts from the DVD set and at only £19.99 they were worth the price on their own. I'm hoping they drastically reduce the price of the art prints this week before they final close up shop next Tuesday

The busts are awesome. I keep mine in here with my other stuff
