eBay only? This saddens me like fuck. I like October Tide a LOT but I was kind of hoping I wouldn't have to spend $40+ on a newly printed T-shirt when I've bought "Rain Without End" for $50+ already. Heh...

So the most hardcore fans are the ones with the most money? The thing with limited editions for hardcore fans is usually that they're available on a first-come first-served basis for the fans who are dedicated enough to get them while they can, not that the person with the most money gets them. I love October Tide, even enough to buy Rain Without End for fucking outrageous prices (which is not the band's fault,) but now someone else who has proper income and can afford to spend 3x the normal price of a shirt will likely end up getting them. Sorry if I offend anyone, but I feel that a band selling new shirts for $30-50 is fucked up.ColdDarkNord said:Its why its called "Limited edition" -> 50 only copies for hardcore only fans. I think its ok to have something special if u r a real collector.

so, in order to be treated correctly, i should download and copy lot's of Cd's, (something i don't do) that way the cost of T-shirts is legitimate.jesse said:Between large amounts of CD sales being diverted into free mp3 downloads from the net, labels and other middle-men taking the majority of cash that comes in for musicians, I don't think this is unreasonable at all. It is one of the few remaining ways a musician can make money directly off their band.
