IMO, no sum of money is "too much" for anything. if the guy who sells it
finds a buyer, both the seller and the buyer will be happy. the only way to
restrict two deal partners from being happy is to limit their freedom of
choice by instituting regulations, the extreme form of which is called
socialism.

the market will show if $70 really is "too much" for the disc. if it is,
other people will come out of the woodwork and sell their radiomixes until
the price goes down automatically. thus, discussions about whether someone
is asking "too much" for anything are quite useless as long as that person
does not try to deliberately rip off someone on the basis of his
uninformedness. which surely doesn't apply in this case.
