Member since Jun 2014 3747 Points Moderator	Well I don't know about the actual vinyl pressing costs, but the cover is only paper or card... and from what I've seen from people's comments about the quality of a lot of new covers, it's very cheap looking. ... added together, I still struggle to see how they can justify that kind of price, and especially if it's the likes of Pink Floyd with a title that has huge pre-order sales. Maybe my understanding of industrial practice and the free market economy needs refreshing, but shouldn't the attendant production costs of an item for sale go down as the sales numbers go up... due to mass manufacture (bulk buy of materials etc.) so you should surely sell such an item at a lower price, in order to sell even more, and at the same time make more profit as a smaller proportion of the cover price goes to costs? Pure greed.
