Can someone explain how Intrada's MAF titles work? I always thought that when titles go to their Main Audio File that they won't be sold out. Now I am starting to see soundtracks like House of Usher go under the "Buy them before they are gone" status. I know nothing last forever but just a little confused.

If I remember correctly the MAF stands for Mary Ann Fake (Doug's Wife?). In regards to the sell out possibility, I think the idea is that they aren't limited to a strict number of copies which they can produce. Batches of 5000 might be produced but as sales start dwindling they can decide to phase out the title as production is no longer economical for what (if they are) selling.
As I remember that goes back to the days when the Special Collections were limited (usually 3000 copies), & the MAF line weren't limited, but nothing stays in print forever, esp. licensed titles. The license runs out, the print run is nearly out & it's selling so slow by now that it's not worth a reprint. Basically, if you want it, buy it. If you can't afford it, save up a dollar a week & then buy it.
