I checked with Media Movers (Sydney) and got some prices.


CD Replication into Plastic Sleeve:

#discs    $/unit     Ex. GST        Inc. GST
5000      $0.490     $ 2,450.00     $ 2,695.00
10000     $0.430     $ 4,300.00     $ 4,730.00
20000     $0.415     $ 8,300.00     $ 9,130.00
30000     $0.397     $11,910.00     $13,101.00
40000     $0.389     $15,560.00     $17,116.00
50000     $0.375     $18,750.00     $20,625.00


CD Replication Bulk Packed (spindle):

#discs    $/unit     Ex. GST        Inc. GST
5000      $0.390     $ 1,950.00     $ 2,145.00
10000     $0.340     $ 3,400.00     $ 3,740.00
20000     $0.325     $ 6,500.00     $ 7,150.00
30000     $0.310     $ 9,300.00     $10,230.00
40000     $0.303     $12,120.00     $13,332.00
50000     $0.295     $14,750.00     $16,225.00


The prices include mastering and full colour printing on the discs. Delivery 
is separate. Standard turnaround time is 8-10 working days.

As for quantities, I think we'd be nuts if we order over 5,000. There's only 
so many discs you can get rid of within a day, and if you're just spamming 
people AOL-style you're not really doing your job in explaining FOSS.
