>>do you realize how much it costs to master/press 50 copies of a 12?

money is not a real argument 
i press my records at the same plant as skam, mas & mask do, and thus know
the prices. 

Mastering
LP (10"/12").... 260 DEM for both 45 rpm and 33 rpm

Replication      100    200    300    400    500   1,000   2,000   
LP (10"/12")    2.73   2.27   1.86   1.71   1.43   1.32    1.29    

100 records would be 533 DM, 500 records would be 975 DM
that's 1,105 DM for each next record above 100 (in case of 500). 
you have to add other costs which also are always there like transport, etc. 
which make the difference even smaller.
