earlier this week i spotted the east island record on down low going for $14
in the usa, which is twice what it should be...it had been exported and then
re-imported (there is no need to import) by mistake. and i dont think it was
any greedy motives on anyone's part, just a mistake. luckily it was not many
copies..
so, perhaps some shops are worried they wont be able to get enough copies of
axis stuff and are so eager to get it they are doing some export/re-import
mess...picking up the record from overseas distribs, or anyays, not getting
it from the distrib with the best price as they should. the problem is since
jeff mills is so popular, people will actually still buy at hugely inflated
cost -- and i dont think anyone is making any more money for it. even jeff
mills sales are probably hurt by this...maybe email axis and let them root
out the problem.
and/or find out which distribs are carrying the axis stuff at normal
wholesale, tell your shops carrying the overpriced copies that they can be
had for cheap from that distrib and they should return their pricey copies
to the distrib they got it from. eventually that distrib will send their
copies back to axis..or, wait for the fanboys and techno upper-class to buy
the marked up copies and have your shop re-order from the better distrib.
> note. <THIS IS NOT A POP AT JEFF MILLS, I LIKE HIS MUSIC, I JUST THINK
THAT
> HE CHARGES TOO MUCH FOR HIS RECORDS, THATS ALL>
But he doesn't - distributors and shops are the ones that put the price up
-
if you want cheap Axis buy from his site not shops...He's not to blame for
the market place...lets not spend another week going over this, please...
