Passing on RSD myself. While I support my local shops, RSD seems to have taken on money grab status. As The washington Post article tries to explain, there is a scarcity value that's being inserted into the equation.

When a store complains they order 25 of anything and get just five (20 percent) of the order, someone's building a choke point into the system - and it isn't for lower prices.

Are record companies gaming the system?
