looks like u'll get rich dj ;)

btw, how many CDs did u sell so far, like, is it how you expected it, publishing ur music as CDs? Or did you expect some more, or maybe much less? ^^

None so far, except the two copies of IMC. Hopefully I can sell 10 of each the first year but I won't get my hopes up. As long as each CD sells once every 179 day minimum so that I don't have to buy them myself <_<

huh really? that surprises me after some of us already said they would buy a copy....  :'(
anyways add (number of different albums available in CD format) to the number of sold CDs  :thumbsup:
will buy mine tomorrow :)
u/Dream of Omnimaga May 09, 2017, 01:07:05 AM
Actually two more albums sold today. ^^ I blame waiting for paychecks :P

Update: For those who wants to buy multiple CDs at the same time using Paypal instead of a credit card, I added a new link in the first post, which is http://kunaki.com/msales.asp?PublisherId=147037&pp=1

I the future, I will try to see if Kunaki's API lets people build customized stores in which I could let the user choose payment method. Otherwise I will probably setup http://djomnimaga.codewalr.us to have some redirects to specific Kunaki pages to make it easier.

uuh, 40$ for the CDs, 20$ for the shipping x.x
U should introduce special deals for everyone buying more than 5CDs at once...  9_9
u/Dream of Omnimaga May 10, 2017, 04:08:36 PM
Yeah shipping fees are a serious problem when buying online >.< And Kunaki keeps $1 per CD (although it's not as bad as those two other services that kept $5-10 x.x)

Sadly, unlike Bandcamp, Kunaki lacks coupon codes

Got my CDs in today, they look nice!  :thumbsup:

Just as an head up:

The two following CD albums will be discontinued on September 3rd 2017 and will become available only in digital format via Bandcamp after that date:
-In UK Hardcore we Trust
-It's the End of Time

And the same thing will happen on September 16th 2017 to the following album:
-Illegal Music Chemistry

That is unless those albums sell 1 physical copy in the meantime. Kunaki automatically removes albums if they don't get any sale for more than 180 days in a row. I am not willing to purchase my own copies and stack them up in my home over time just so that I can meet that criteria and re-uploading everything from scratch takes a considerable amount of time (and often give errors).

Quote from: Kunaki products list pageProducts which have not been ordered in 180 days are considered inactive and will be automatically deleted. To keep a product active you can order one unit every 180 days.

I just sprung for a copy of It's the End of Time; partially to keep it up, and partially because the title track was always one of my favourites from back in the TIMGUL days. Epic Journey is probably the one I'll go for next, once I've got a bit more spare cash to play around with, because that's got another of my old faves on it (the Trance remix of Firestorm).

Just out of curiosity, how has selling CD's been going overall?
u/Dream of Omnimaga July 12, 2017, 04:21:55 AM
From what I remember, the two CD's that Caleb bought were the only sales so far. All other sales were digital (the song called An Obestian tale sold 1 copy, In UK Hardcore we trust sold 1 and the entire discography bundle sold 1). Physical medias are mostly purchased as collectibles nowadays, though, so I can't really say I am that surprised.
u/Decon Theed July 12, 2017, 04:38:35 AM
Ahhhh, I see. Yeah, can't say I'm surprised either; part of my impetus to spring for a physical copy is the fact that I myself am a collector, so that's
kinda proving the point right there.

Still, here's to hoping you get at least a few more CD sales mate~
