Oh cool, guess that means people can still pick up a copy then
Well yea unless these people have been tricked into believing there are no more available, ? Which surely wouldn't be doing anyone any favours ?

Surely saying it's sold out when it clearly hasn't sold out will just reduce sales?

99% of sales at this point are digital.
I think we've shipped 4 since I hiked the price, and made Digi available. Nit exactly promoting it either.
What's the problem? Lol.

I'll delist it when back at HU HQ. Want some for posterity, after all. Thanks for the nudge

Surely the problem is your problem? If you go around shouting about how it has sold out when it clearly hasn't then surely that's gonna put people off potentially buying it and actually making it sell out?

I'm assuming the root of this is that you think we're not a credible source for units remaining.
So....... let's play "the logic game".
IF there were significant units left, a normal move would be to drop the price. No? Knock 33% off or something.
IF there were significant units left, and monies tied up in them, it would make sense to sell through rather than put out a digital-only alternative.
IF there were significant units left, there would be some sort of advertising to retain awareness.
Rather than any of the above, the price was hiked, digital only made available on our store, we're running into lead-times through our broker to get out to other vendors, and I've announced we're compiling a new album with a 2 week deadline.
So, for the grand prize....... Are there loads of units left?
Now go and try to buy some other things I said were low stock (HU1, HU2, HU4, HU Presents 2010).

Very well explained.
Although a simple 'shut up, you arsehole' would also have done the trick

Who said anything about there being significant units left ? It hasn't sold out, it hasn't even anywhere near sold out, I may be an arsewhole but at least I'm not trying to pretend something isn't available when it clearly is ?

Oh dear, you didn't do very well at the logic game 
You can guess all you want, but we did a stock check at the end of January and.... there aren't many units left.
As I noted, I hiked the price on the few remaining and put out a digital version early. Cancelled all further advertising, as we couldn't get digital roll-out accelerated beyond our store in a sensible timeline.
Actions speak louder than words, facts louder than speculation.
It's sold out.
Still, what would I know? I just post them out and store stock where I live.
Essentially you're now just calling me a liar, when I've just directed you to other projects I have said this about before. Won't be hard to fact-check whether I was lying before, eh?
