Charlie Brigden 7 Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Maybe this is just me, but it's disappointing that people are buying multiples to trade/sell. Finding some scores in this hobby is hard enough without someone buying up more than they need just to make a profit, especially when it's something with a high anticipation level like this.

OneBuckFilms 324 Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 I'm with you on this, Charlie.I feel that Intrada probably needs to license a second run, perhaps another 3000, to give the slower ones a break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 3,696 Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 It's not just you; it frustrates me too that there are people selfish enough to do that.I really think these guys should have something like a 2 per customer limit to prevent people buying 10 copies to sell on. I know they do a 1pc limit when the quantity gets low, but that's a bit too late.But at the end of the day, if they've shifted product and made money, they're happy from a business sense.

Finding some scores in this hobby is hard enough without someone buying up more than they need just to make a profit, especially when it's something with a high anticipation level like this.I agree. I remember all too well when I was not able to buy these scores as they were always gobbled up before my funds would permit. I've had to buy many at inflated prices over the years..The Fury, Predator, SpaceCamp, The Burbs, etc. I had to pay double for Intrada's House of Cards, although that was due to my own stupidity.

Richard Penna 3,696 Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 I've found it surprisingly easy to avoid this trap. I can usually tell fairly early on whether an Intrada release might be in my area, and if so, I'm glued to the computer on the night.That, and the stuff I'm interested in wouldn't sell out in 5 minutes anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneBuckFilms 324 Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 I'd suggest that ScreenArchives, MM.Com, Intrada and Varese ALWAYS implement a 1 or 2 per customer limit for ANY limited release.This way, everyone would get a fair chance.

Wojo 2,453 Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 I count seven for "Predator Varese" and people are asking at least $60 for opened copies.People are trying to unload their obsolete editions on an ignorant public as they scrambled to buy the Intrada.

TownerFan 4,983 Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 I'm happy for those who were fast enough to secure a copy, especially those who didn't have the Varèse Club edition. I wasn't fast back then as I was today. So I'll continue to listen to this score in less than ideal conditions.However, this is crazy. And it reinforces my idea that the soundtrack collectors market has seriously gone mad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 3,696 Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Yeah it's not ideal for those who aren't at their computers 24/7. I'll be away for 3 weeks next month and will be hoping upon hope that nothing big emerges, as buying stuff via unsecured wireless is a bad idea.

Kendal_Ozzel 36 Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Any_book always seems to have the highest price on Amazon. I believe I heard that when you buy from them, they don't actually have the item, but rather they buy one and resell it to you for the ridiculous price. So they aren't really to be taken seriously as a seller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
