I'm sure the cost of produce and distribute a single is even more cost
prohibitive these days. I don't know if they're even making CD singles any
more. I have a few of those.

I have a couple of thousand 7" singles. I would buy boxes of them from a place
on ebay. Like 100 for $18 including shipping. Found some gems in there, but
they're mostly ex-jukebox so often with the big center hole and no jackets. I
got a bunch of nice plain white and antistatic covers. It's interesting going
through them all, especially the B-sides that you never really hear.
