What do you mean "more that retail"?

For example, Merge usually charges full retail ($18.98 for most of their LPs) and offers free shipping. A pretty good deal in my opinion. My local might charge $21-25 for the same record. I don't mind shopping local, and agree with the general movement. But at some point, it starts to feel like gouging.

Isn't retail whatever the store decides to price something? How did you come up with 19 dollars as a universal retail price for this?

 

When labels/distributors solicit releases to stores, there's a list price or manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) intended to keep the pricing standardized among retailers.

I love supporting local, but sometimes the local shops make it really hard to even want to. I'm in Canada, and even including shipping from the artist I can usually get a record for cheaper than my local record store charges, it really gives me no reason to want to support them. I understand that they have lots of costs and taxes to pay and need to make money, but when you're selling normal Bright Eyes records for $30, something is wrong. Not to mention, there's only one worker there who isn't a dick.

 

I want this album, but unfortunately chances are I will be buying it through Amazon.

This.

 

You probably have less options in NS of where you can record shop. I was out that way in the summer and couldn't find many shops, but the ones i did were overpriced. There was one in PEI that was absolutely Crazy!

There are a couple around me that are ok, not too pricey, but there are also a couple that are ridiculous price-wise.  

Good thing about amazon is direct to your door shipping.

 

And i got Digital Ash yesterday for like $12 on amazon.ca
