Hardly greed. It's called putting it on the market for an OOP item at what is believed to be the market rate.

I'd say that most "market rates" pay little or no attention to the actual conditions of the market!

When you're a used store that specializes in such things, sure you do. However, if people think that a used shop, where the buyer knows the value of the item, is going to price this at or below what it sold for originally, then I don't see that you as the buyer are really being realistic.

I think my point is that the market rate is what someone is prepared to pay for it, not what someone is offering to sell it at. This perspective can easily be seen to allow for discounting below original price (which happens to plenty of goods for one reason or another) and also for some quite incredible mark-ups as well.

I could offer for sale a disc of (say) me playing Scott Joplin for $1000/disc but that clearly is not the market rate by (at least) $1001!

True. Of course, with this item since it is OOP and was limited to begin with, I think we knew it would go up after all were sold out.

The "good old days" of recording, in this case the actual Ring by Solti:

Equipment details, including physically cutting the master tape:

Horsing around with Birgit Nielsen during the recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GI1F7ziJIEo

I suspect that the great classical operas will never be recorded in true high resolution, too expensive.
