One night after Space Disco for Fish Tacos, we went out to taco mesa for the standard fare, and I remember a fellow IDM lister going out to the parking lot with Dimitri to buy a phthalo cd. The person came back shaking his head, surprised at the astronomical amount Dimitri demanded for the artwork less CDR he had just sold him 'out of his trunk'. Just about everyone I know who makes CDR's (myself included) give them away, because that's what they're for, distributing music in small numbers to people who are enthusiastic about said music. If you're going to sell something, do it right. I.E.: Professional duplication, artwork, etc. Charging an arm and a leg for a CDR is just plain greedy. brock.
