Hats off to Naxos then for retailing an incredibly wide range for just
£4.95.

But why are they that expensive. Much cheaper in the US.


Because the price charged has *nothing* to do with what it cost to
produce. It is based on what is currently charged by others for a similar
item in that geographic area. Don't believe tha BS about the market sizes
etc. That doesn't come into it as CDs are so light that shipping costs
are
negligable when they are carried with other items. We are just ripped off
on this side of the big pond...

If you believe that you will believe anything.
Comparative pricing in the US and Europe is based on volume
and sales velocity. Stuff flies off the shelves. I reckon pound
for dollar is about right.

Alan.

PS. Talking about volume did you here about the Irishman
who said. "I lose money on every sale but I make my profit
on the volume".
