I doubt very much that the dealer prices reflect the prices you were paying. Would not surprise me if some of the exclusive product was charged at a token amount to cover manufacture and royalties only.


well the limited double vinyl set from Mastodon had a dealer price of £28 + VAT according to my shop friends, which would explain why it was retailing at between £39-45

it's the labels making all the dough not the shops from what i can see

how a dealer price of say £10-15 can be put on a single LP meaning it has to retail nearer £20 is beyond me. there's plenty of us around with labels that know that can't be right!

it's making things expensive for the sake of it, it seems
