my strategy for up and coming labels:
press a few hunderd copies of your first release...
but sell only half to the public in the beginning.
wait till it rises in value, then sell the other half at 
outrageous prices...(preferably through a fence)

or be more naughty and:

once your first release becomes sought after, repress it in large
quantities, and sell it thru a fence as the original...
(but do it quickly before anyone catches on)
(note: these strategies only work if people like your music!)

this could be you:
