I understand where everyone is coming from. To be honest, I copied Jeremy/Woodsist's prices after lowballing myself and getting stuck sending an LP to Sweden for 11 dollars, which was about six bucks more than I expected it to be. I'm not cutting any costs with these releases and each record is coming out to about a buck or so less than the wholesale price I'm charging for it. Every dollar I get goes into the next record being released, period. If I was pressing 1000+ of each record it'd be much easier for me to charge a lot less and still get records out but I'm kind of stuck doing it this way or else it'd be a failing endeavor.
But yeah, with prices being the way they are, the 7" format has lost it's appeal in many ways. I hope to do more 12"s in the future, but I can't help but press as many singles as possible because I just love the look and feel and it's what I grew up on.
