first - i ehco Jeri re the bussiness aspect - when you have a high volume operation you can afford to take a smaller (per unit) profit margine --- also as stated above Camsco & Folk Legasy carry a selection you just can't get at the giant guys - because of limited appeal --- next i have called Dick G at Camsco on various occasions to get cd's for me that nobody (big or little)was carrying and Dick was able to get for me --i.e.Lil Rev --- and ic currently tracking down that Pigmeat collection that was discussed on another thread ---- regards the difference in shipping 4.20 - 2.99=1.21 x 12=14.52 = not quite 1 cd a year when you add in whoevers shipping --- you don't know Dicks' overhead (i.e. dept from recent purchase of Camsco ,rent,advertising etc.) plans to expand (?) and again whatever ----- so all things considered - i suggest you give it more thought -- i will very happily pay an extra dollar (or more) because if Dick and Sandy dissappear -just try and call Amazon or CDNow to get some of the music that many or most Mudcatters are interested in -- it won't happen ---- and i don't mean anything against the big guys -- they are a different opparation ---
