PO: Volcano Choir - Repave


Recommended Posts

Wow, Newbury is listing ten at a time and raising the price with each listing.

Price gouging on an exclusive release is pretty bad form.

 

I'm not sure I agree that it is gouging at all. The rarer a record the more expensive. Well this is all purely subjective matter anyways. I think of gouging as, everyone needs gasoline, gas stations in a particular region are making handsome profit yet they decide to raise the price, (because we as consumers have no fucking choice but to keep buying the gas to get to work, school, concerts, etc!)

 

But it is funny how someone on their marketing/sales team was like, "We're getting down to the wire with these records and they're flying off the shelves! Raise the price!"

 

Also remember they pay a fee to eBay for these sales/exposure where they might not have otherwise been able to market since not everyone's as geeky to look up the record label of a Bon Iver-Esque band.
