[78-L] Berliner reproductions [fwd]

[Kristjan Saag]

Most of these "crazy" offers were probably made at a time when there 
were no new CD's available. Demand and supply.
And when new pressings are out it takes some time to withdraw the $ 999 
offer.
Good business idea - for those who wish to profit from other people's 
desperate needs.
