They never list prices until you get to the record store. That Dinosaur/Cure split will likely be $15-$20 for 2 songs, which I already own both versions, original and cover, on vinyl which I found at a record convention for $5 each.
It is a cool idea, and I LOVE record stores, but RSD does not mean people browse the record stores, which is like the whole fucking purpose right? People just buy what they choose off a list, some fuck takes it out of boxes and hands it to you, then you leave after paying at least double what it is worth.. I would say that describes 90% of everyone I see at RSD events.

One of the reasons for this is people buying these limited editions, re-presses etc to sell them to some clueless idiot on Ebay or Discogs. That's another story. I can imagine a lot of people end up with records they assume, wrongly, to be worth much more than they do in a few months' time. Hardly the original RSD idea, is it?
