RSD 2014 - All hype, gouging, manufactured scarcity.
Against my better judgment, my SO said she'd really like to hear the Springsteen release American Beauty, so I trotted down to local record shop. Not only were ALL the RSD specials sold out by noon (they never got a fraction of what they ordered), folks were grousing that RSD goods had been listed on eBay days before the sale. The guy behind me in line said I could get American Beauty on eBay for a BUY IT NOW price of $99. For a four-song EP? Holy crap, Batman. I see it on eBay now for $35 or so, but screw it.
Note to self - NO MORE RSD FOR ME.
