on the flipside, this should surely be an incentive to press say like 1000 more or something, so we can all get our hands on one
ive put out records before, i know that if someone press 1000 white labels of them and made a fuss about it, they could break even in days.

ebays not going away anytime soon. people spend money for quality.
everyone takes risks when you press up white labels. the cutting house, the cutter, the pressing people, the shops that carry it.
the more fuss that's made over certain white labels, the more risky it becomes. because of the risks, sometimes the people i mentioned above, want a small cut of extra money for the risk alone. danger money if you will. the white label business is not as simple as ordering 1000 and walking around to shops. there's relationships involved, and you don't want to abuse the system.

I don't see why people have such a problem with the business end - if someone's willing to pay that much for it why would you sell it for less? It's an auction innit, that's what happens. Why think business should operate as a charity?
Hmm....

Sounds a risky venture but.....if you possess these uncanny abilities for divining a record that will go up in value.....
........do I send you the money and then wait to receive ten times that back?

this album was anticipated for MONTHS before it dropped.. people were waiting on it for ever.. and once it dropped, the kids that had the search programmed into their favorites jumped on it. i ordered from two different shops to double my chances of getting at least one good copy (warped records suck, right?).
both came in prime condition.. and if money gets any tighter, im going to drop my extra on ebay and HOPE it pulls a good amount of loot.
dont hate. appreciate!
