If you think the price is too high, then dont buy it. Its pretty simple. I know the dilemma faced by trading and selling ripped DVDs, I am an active seller and trader of Mystery Science Theater episodes. Believe me, the incentive of a little bit of compensation for my time, effort, and materials is all that makes it worthwile. If I were selling DVD-Rs at "cost plus a little", I wouldnt be doing it. If I sold them for $2 each, I would be be burning around the clock to meet the demand, basically LOOSING money. Its not worth my time. Ive had alot of people gripe a little over my prices, (about $7-$8 per disc, depending on qty) but I always tell them politly, "im doing you a favor. Ive made the choice to make these available to you, and my time isnt free. If you dont feel thats fair, order somewhere else, or invest a few thousand of your own dollars to make them yourself."
