I dont offer it because it's some extra work that doesn't bring much for all the little details it makes do. Anybody who ask, when I tell them the prices, they realise it's not really cheaper than buying at some online store like Nuloop. I really like to sell cd through CDBaby though. Good results and less troubles.gillsans wrote:Thanks guys
Its not such a strange question since most label websites don't advertise that they will sell their records direct. My guess is because getting a decent distributor is probably difficult and I'm sure they don't want a label selling direct and in turn taking sales away from them (distro) and the shops.
Ultimately, I feel that its the label that benefits from selling direct since they get all the cash. The hard part is infrastructure to sell online, shipping and inventory.
I'm sure if there was something I wanted bad enough I could email the label and see if they would sell it to me direct.
Thanks for the list guys.
Yeah I wouldnt expect labels to sell it for less. Its a good opportunity to make full price when otherwise they would only make wholesale.pheek wrote:

but it is a nice option to offer people, sometimes offering the releases a little bit earlier or for slightly less than some other shops. We only tend to carry a few copies of each release in the shop though, so we dont compete too much with the distro and other shops who are supporting us.
