The vinyl curtain
Not that I’m about to, but just out of interest, has anyone looked into the economics of getting their own vinyl pressed up these days?
The online distributors of digital download or streaming seem okay, but without promotion, your stuff will just sit there. If you promote it, it will stand a chance, but promotion is expensive in terms of time, if not money. If you promote it and it sells, you might as well also divert the same effort toward real product – vinyl and the like.
What’s the situation, for doing your own albums? Too expensive and too risky, given that most of the effort will have to be invested into promoting and distributing and physically getting it into shops? What about quantities? Is it a guaranteed path to bankruptcy and derision – surrounded by your stacks of unsold albums long into your geriatricity up to your dying day?

If you're just after the novelty of making some vinyl, you should take a look at "Lathe cut vinyl", it's cut out, one at a time, rather than stamped. The cool thing is that you can get 1, or 10, or 50; that's rather than 300 minimum for getting vinyl pressed.
If you're for getting vinyl pressed, wait until you have a way to sell every single one, like you have a month long tour planned of mid sized clubs. Or be totally ok with having boxes of vinyl in storage for the next ten years, and eventually giving them away to strangers, or taking them to the dump.
Of the people here who have pressed vinyl, how many have sold their entire shipment? If so, how big was your band? What kind touring did you do, what kind of label support, what kind of following? My feeling is, if you are in a spot to move 500 records, you know it already.
A well-timed untimely death could result in those becoming high priced collectors items, thus avoiding all but one of the negatives.
