Apologies in advance for the long seriouspost, but I have opinions about this.
I work for a record label and distributor specializing in experimental synth/electronic music, so I have a serious background in pressing and selling records in the year of our lord 2017. First off: no one in this community takes Billy seriously. At all. Absolutely no one who actually cares about modular synth will buy this, and I'm talking about dudes who would run over their own mom to get access to the synth gear BC used. What's all the more *******, aside from the fact that Billy clearly doesn't know how to use his own setup, is that he could have gotten 99% of the sounds from maybe $1k of gear. Second: selling records is hard. The 2008 recession really did hurt this business a lot. Customers agonize over spending $50 on a release. Even if the $100 reissue box sets sold really well, $375 is a huge jump. The stuff in that price range (I'm thinking of a recent Pink Floyd reissue set) sells because 1. it's full of unreleased material the fans really want, and 2. the market is full of older guys who actually have the money to spend. And what helps a release sell? Extra content. An extra DVD, say, or some bonus downloads, or something like that. Not shirts, certainly not hats, and definitely not a shitty toy synth. People are smart enough to know when the price is being jacked up for a bunch of junk they don't care about. How much does it cost to get 5x500 LPs pressed on colored vinyl? Whoever said about $45/ea. is about right. I bet this was pressed at GZ in the Czech Republic, go look at their price sheets. Remember that when you get a record pressed, you need to think about how much it's going to cost for inner sleeves, outer sleeves, labels, etc. - anything extra costs more. 500 copies is actually the price point where pressing a record starts to become economically reasonable. Anything less than that, your record is going to have to cost more money. Anything more than that, you'd better be sure that you can move 1000+ records. So who is buying this? My guess is, at least in part, speculators. The kind of people who buy up Third Man releases and then immediately turn around and sell them for 3x the price on ebay. The kind of people who buy up signed limited things and then sit on them for 5-10 years and then sell them at 10x the price on ebay. Except those guys are going to be hard pressed to make any sort of profit on this one. I'm guessing at least ten years before you'll be able to resell this at the original price, maybe more, and maybe never. |

That fact that it hasn't sold a single copy since the first wave of sales supports the fact that nearly everyone interested in this was speculators.
Even that one person bitching about the damaged box was talking about flipping it for profit. |

We've still got 348 available... meaning that he hasn't sold ONE in almost a month now. We're dead in the water here.
Don't know why this fascinates me as much as it does... |

You'd think Billy's new wrestling and Infowars fanbase wouldve snapped them up.

Would a 5X LP release of Billy's early demos be worth $375
