If he gets enough orders this price will even drop as the shipping cost per CD becomes much more negligible. I'm hoping Skimo gets enough orders that the wholesale price will be $10 US, so it might even come in at approximately $13 US retail cost, which I agree is more reasonable and much more likely to happen this time (...if the number of orders is high). Unfortunately with the small label economics it's always hard to compete with the big boys, and i'm doubly damned for being based in Australia, so I have higher shipping costs to begin with. As for the price of CD's $30 AUS (comparable to $30 CDN) is the regular price of all ordinary CD's and what you'd pay for NiN through to the Spice Girls in this country. Of course such favourite IDM acts and labels are much more expensive here. Regards, John Aural Industries http://Aural-Industries.com.au
