Sorta like Black Label Society with CJ Snare on vocals. Not sure the EP is worth $11, though. It's doesn't cost $5 to ship a CD in the US! Especially when it's probably a cheap CDR.

A CDR weighs just as much as a CD. Very Happy

Besides, when you factor in buying the packaging, the time they take to pull and package the disc, the trip to the post office, then first class postage anywhere in the US, the farthest reaching place from their base of operations might cost around $5 per disc...

Just sayin' lol!

But a CD will last far longer than a CDR, which makes the S&H cost much easier to swallow.

And don't give me that "handling" crap. Haha. I agree people should pay for packaging, but I'm not paying some failed 80s turd to walk from his mother's basement to the closet to grab a CD! Laughing

None of us will love long enough to see a side by side, real time comparison of a CD outlasting a CDR.

And as for "handling", I know what you're saying...but when you factor in time, gas money to the post office, etc...it's all handling cost. Worked into the price of that CD are:

- recording/mixing/mastering costs
- artwork costs
- layout costs
- pressing costs
- incoming postage costs (having the CDs delivered from pressing plant)
- outgoing postage costs (buying packing materials, fuel costs to post office, actual postage)

That $5 is probably, as I stated, the highest cost to the farthest domestic point away from where the CDs are coming from.

I've met CJ Snare more than once, and had several conversations with him...he's a business man.

All of that made me wonder:

Why even say "Price + Shipping". Just add up all the total costs, divide by the number of CDs you had pressed, and offer that price plus "Free Shipping".

In my Ebay experience, someone will buy something that is "$15 w/ Free Shipping" a lot faster than "$10 + $5 Shipping"...its psycological.

Very Happy

I hear ya. I would still like to know what I'm buying, though. I remember when I bought Chinese Democracy by Warrior Soul. It was $18 for the CD, plus $7 S&H. I knew it was limited, so I splurged. And I got a CDR is a sleeve. Total frickin' rip-off!

And speaking of CDRs, I've already lived long enough to do a side-by-side comparison. Def Leppard's Hysteria, the very same CD I bought back in 1987, still plays fine. I've had countless CDRs fail on me over the years, some in years, some in months.

I know some people say their CDRs are fine, never had a problem, but I have over 8,000 CDs in my possession, so I've seen CDRs go bad more times than I care to think about.

They're the worst kind of media storage in the past 50 years.
