Here's my 2 bits about "Warehouse Finds": Your best bet is to find a reputable seller. Often supposedly very rare items come out of hiding from somewhere, even to the larger mail-order distributers. An example is Forced Exposure still having copies of the 2nd Bradley Strider EP in stock, a few folks have caught onto this and are selling them on Ebay for $30-50 (they're quite a "steal" comparatively from FE, who is, for a limited time, selling them for a low low $9). Buyer beware the capitalistic urge, and all that. I don't think illegitimate represses are a huge problem, but seeing as how a single copy of (fill in the blank: joyrex9, mask1, etc.) are going for a few hundred bucks, you can easily recoup your losses of pressing even a dozen. I just think it's easier for the average lowbrow to fanthom making bootleg CDR's and selling them on the street corner (or low morality store) than go through the hassle of getting plates made and vinyl pressed.
