We had a similar experience that makes me agree with LisztLaughing.

My wife had a first recording, self-published on tape cassette, several years ago. We eventually burned a CD from the DAT, sold and gave away a few, finally signed up with CD Baby with no intention to sell it, only stream it. (pre-soundclick. We had streaming off the old mp3.com, and were looking for another streaming opportunity, just so venues could click through a few songs.) Called it "Rough Cuts" on purpose, more like high quality demo material, limited instrumentation, etc. CD Baby got from us one copy, home burned, with a paper label and stuck in a paper sleeve. As noted above, as a title, it would have been listed to CD Baby partners. The point is, nobody has a commercially viable copy of this CD, yet it too turns up for $40 from 2 different vendors. By the way, the possiblity of being ripped off by someone who streams, saves, and burns would be almost non-existent here. My wife has a solid local reputation, but is way under the radar everywhere else. There's no money to be made. I'm sure Norah Jones is being ripped off in the manner described.

Any of you who have looked into internet marketing generally, not only as applies to music promotion, will have found that there is a new kind of nitwit out there, who has nothing to sell but has devoted gallons of midnight oil to linking products that they hope to skim pennies off. This is becoming a pet peeve for me, since their bogus link pages show up all the time, muddying your search results. Search Engine Optimization, a variation on spam. Sitting in your little apartment in Tennessee, trying to outsmart Google.

I've sometimes ordered a video game or a piece of software from the amazon resellers, only to have it delayed until they could find something to send me. And since they're going to go to all that trouble, might as well charge $40. Fishing it is, but due diligence requires the complaints and inquiries mentioned above. ***I have also had excellent experiences with the private amazon stores.

Now I'm thinking about ordering one, to see what happens. But even as I write this, I'm about 90% 'why bother?'
