Jim: i'd really like to know how much money does the artist generally get from one copy of their CD sold. if you know, specifically Opeth. how much do they earn from one album sold?

Tell me they don't have a point on that one.

Once again, a lot of insulting but little talk about the issue at hand.
Similar situation in NZ, atleast at the shop I go to. If you take something back within a week, and the price label is intact, they will give you 70% of the value in credit, which can only be used in that shop (the shop will then resell it as if it was new). If you don't do this, you just have to do a normal trade- you will be VERY lucky if you get $10 for a cd that cost you $45 (this is NZ currency, all you Americans stop freaking out ). You can get this as cash, but it's an expensive way of just getting a cd for burning. The shop then sells it for around $20 (although I've seen some of my trades end up in the 'new' section, I keep them in top condition. Naughty shop....).Originally posted by loudsilence
At the music store I shop at you can't return the CD unless something is wrong with it...you can't say "I didn't like the CD" and get a refund, because I think a lot of people over here were buying the CD recording it, then returning it. And also if there happened to be something wrong with the CD you have to get the same one.
