Nope, these are "gold" CDR creations. The blanks cost more than $5.00.
These were expected to be purchased by vendors, as a master for their
volume pressings. At $50 per pair there is very little profit left over
for the project. My personal production costs for pressing "gold" CDs is
around $20 per CD, so selling two for $5.00 would create a loss of $35.00
for the project...not very effective ;-)

Luck,
