Naaah,  I can't go with that argument.  This list is a forum for 
comments just like that : it's a place for people to express their 
opinions.

Even *if* you start your own label, it still doesn't help you get hold of 
obscure stuff off some 'badly' run label, does it?  I, for one, haven't 
seen a single MASK / SKAM release here in South Africa.  Luckily 
I've managed to hear some of their stuff via MP3's or obliging 
traders and although some of the music is *essential IDM*, it still 
doesn't warrant idiotic prices (imo).  But as long as there are people 
who will pay 'what the market will hold', then these ridiculous 
auctions will continue.

Who's to say?
