treaclefingers, For me there is no need to open my LP and the other one is for a friend. Only for collection.(I'm 70 of age) The last few decades my LP's are still sealed.

I managed to buy one of the Blue & Lonesome. Though with my son still waiting (in vain?) for his Stick Fingers I am not 100% confident of receiving it.

I think they'll have learned from the previous debacle. I received my HONK after several weeks.
I don't understand why they limit it to 500 online. Why not 2000? THey'll still sell out and give more fans something...PLUS make more money.
We we really need to see these selling on EBAY for $300 the day they go on sale on Rollingstones.com?

I'm sure they have crunched the numbers.
The tax incentives on the marketing aspect of the new flagship store etc probably offset any profits they could make on units sold over 1000.

Well, I'm sure they've crunched the numbers, not so sure about England's tax codes
But, if it were based in the US, these "Carnaby Store Exclusives" would undoubtably count as marketing/promotional material for their new flagship store.
Theoretically, if they lost money producing/selling them, they would then be able to write that loss off on their taxes. Even if they made money, the cost to produce would be a write-off.
Meanwhile, those that visit the store either in person or online (in-person more likely) will add more profitable items to their cart.
By making it exclusive to the Carnaby store site, brick or virtual, it's promotional.

Yeah, I guess so. Though I think all their costs are write offs as relate to either the store, or to the physical product, so that really doesn't make a difference. Additionally, the physical product has both fixed and variable costs, so the more you produce the lower the apportioned fixed cost per unit.
In other words, the more you produce the cheaper it is - that is as long as you sell everything.
I just kind of think 500 or 1000 in total is a pretty low number.
Even if you think of the revenue they're taking in, what, $50000 for the entire lot? That seems like chump change, never mind what the profit even is from that (though I'm sure the margin is pretty high).
Maybe what they're really doing is marketing the 'exclusivity' of the store, maybe the cache of that is the real goal, get the buzz going. Otherwise I don't see Mick getting excited about Blue and Lonesome red vinyl selling out 1000 copies, worldwide.

At the moment I that I bought 2 copy's on E bay at £200 was a little bit to high as I now see there are a couple on 135 à 150£, but we can live with it.We want one and we have one.

Is there some 'story' that goes along with Honk? It's obviously not limited to a certain number of copies as its still available.
