eBay - Moneymaking with the Tribute

[doczook]

Hi,

do you think, it's OK from this guy to buy a bunch of tribute albums here, just to make money on eBay with them?

He recently has sold part 1 for 26 Euro and part 2 for 20 Euro.

I just think, he derides the whole concept that stands behind the tribute "spirit" and he disobeys the lot of work and effort.

With best regards,
doczook

That looks badly but...

What money does he make? 5 Euros? 10? Well, from bunch of cds - maybe "even" 100-150.

That's nothing. I think, spirit of tribute won't disappear if someone gains 150 Euros just reselling it.

And it's quite another matter - when someone begins reproduce (reprint) cds to sell them illegal. That would be really unfair and disguisting.

P.S. By the way - why is the lot named #FALKENBACH# menhir bathory amon amarth? Should I consider "amon amarth" a compliment? :-))

Hi,

yes, but take a look at the other "offerings" he makes.

25 Euro for "Fenris - Offerings to the Hunger" and 35 for "Lord Wind - Forgotten Songs".

He is just greedy, and that insults me.

Cheers,

Ah yes, I see...

He's a funny man. Seems he sells everything...

i don't think buying and reselling is that bad. cause falkenbach/VV/Napalm still got a sale. so basically 2 people made money out of it, and one person got the album. and if the person who bought the album off of ebay took enough time to see that napalm and this site were selling them to the person he bought it from, then he'd be just that much more of a fan, and deserving of paying just that much less for the tunes

How is this any different from a physical retail shop ordering wholesale from the label and reselling? If anything, this guy makes less of a profit margin than a regular store.
