Correct, Daz was selling them through his website for $500 a pop, but he was supposed to autograph each album and include a DPG Recordz jacket or something, if I remember correctly. But a little bit later, he offered just the album for $50. Thank God I didn't have PayPal at the time.
at first he charged $500 for the album. no jackets, no fancy stickers, no posters, no nothing. just the album. then, when the people who were willing to pay that amount of money had pre-ordered and pre-orders started dabbing off, he lowered the price to $50. that's still rather pricey for an ep, and we all know that half of the tupac scene are either cheap or not that into tupac's music as to spend $50 on an ep that would ultimately leak onto the net anyway. however, a lot more pre-orders were placed, and the people who had paid $500 was starting to question shit. daz promised that everyone who paid $500 would recieve a "special edition" of the album as well as some extra shit like posters, stickers, a jacket, whatever, i don't remember. soon as pre-orders went slow again, daz lowered the price to $20, which sub-sequently led to even more pre-orders being placed. a while later amaru secured the rights to the tracks and the album was stopped. by this time daz had probably spent half of the money on crack already, so there was no way he could pay it back. either that or he's just a fucking bastard.
anyway, this thread isn't about that. i was just assuming that whole incident was what dante referred to when he was talking about pre-orders, seeing as how the post he quoted mentioned mak&dil and there was a whole pre-order situation surrounding that album.
or maybe some nice shit is gonna turn up on "how he wanted it vol. 2" which i think is up for pre-orders right now. no matter what he meant we'll all find out one way or another so just be patient.
