Recently, I bought four SF59 CDs from a user on Ebay. Got a great deal. In the EMM CD, this receipt fell out. Apparently, the original owner bought it from a "New Creation" store on 02/28/2000 for $15.98 Does that price seem about right for that time period? I thought retial CDs were averaging around $12 to $14 at that time, but I could be mistaken.  |

Maybe the price was a mistake?

It seems high because it's a christian bookstore price. I paid the same amount that year.

I wonder what the "ARCH-JESUS WALKS" and "LITTLE FISH-CAME" products are. Guessing by their low price, they were probably trinkets or candy at the register.

That doesn't seem right. "New Creation" bought it at a wholesale price from T&N. Let's say they bought it for 7 dollars. T&N probably got about $5 and SF59 got $2.00. "New Creation" got $9.00. That's my thinking. |

That's my thinking. I think the band would get about $1.60 after recouping recording costs. I think Tooth and Nail definitely got more than $5. |

Some of that had to be the exchange rate. But yeah, I do remember CDs being very expensive when I visited Canada in 2001. |

Way too expensive and yet I burned through cash building my collection. And now I have way to many T$N punk CDs that I never spin. |

It wasn't entirely the bookstores fault. They didn't make much money of these. They ordered from the one canadian distributer (CCM at that time) and they're prices were quite high. luckily I got promo prices for my radio show at $4/disc. I paid out of my pocket (not the station's budget) and kept them when the show ended.
