I doubt I could sell 500 units anymore.

What are the goals of other local bands?
I do not think that a quick poll of 40 friends is a good gage of whether the making of CDs is worth it. Like Big John said, you should have them at the gig when the punters have the cash in hand and are still in awe of your rockability. I am not to crazy about the download thing either. Most people want a concrete product not a abstract.
