Who were you replying to? You'd pay more just for your discs than I do just for the 8X media, and I've said before time is effort and that effort deserves some amount of payment. If I was under very high demand, I'd buy a 2nd burner, increase my price to pay it off and dual-burn. What do I charge - $24 (US$17) inc post ($4 less for Aussies), a new burner might cost $120. If I increased it to $36 (US$25) then that would be $12 extra/sale = 10 sales to pay off burner. Easy. And I concur with P2P.
