Sign me up as delusional, I guess.
Except under very tightly controlled and special conditions, an across the
board price of 2 cents is just not doable by TLC and if you think it is, I
posit that you just may not know everything there is to know about how complex
fulfillment is.
Can carefully controlled sales of pieces in large quantities achieve 2 cents a
piece? perhaps. That's what we're trying to find out.
But that has nothing to do with CD sales. When's the last time you ordered 1000
copies of "Oops, I did it again"? (why anyone would want even one copy is a
question I have to ask my daugther, who does...)
Is it just me that finds it ironic that the "artist"'s initials in this case
are BS?
