Not exactly. Promos normally aint worth shizot unless they differ in an
important way from the standard cd/record issue. My family's business is
record collecting, been in it for thirty years, is da truth ruth. The
only way a promo would be worth that much and not be unique is in the
case where the owner of said promo sells it for an unfair amount to a
sap/loser/igneeramoose who will pay that much.I guess i mean to say such
promos are worth high prices only to foolish ignorant completists. I'm sure
there are lots in the techno scene who fit such description, and if they is dumb enough i
guess you're richer.it's still shitty tho. In Chapel Hill, record stores
price promos normally between 2$ and 5$ [which is still illegal so dont
tell].

see above. i personally think it best as well, that someone at least have
something of idm content --a conversation piece [informational statement
/review /inquisitive question]-- in their post along with their
advertisement. Courtesy is nice.
