Well, it's a sliding scale that depends on what you mean by "volume", but even at the ten-piece price it's still quite competitive for the reseller. That's also why our direct retail prices are still comparatively high by the standards of the industry; we deliberately price stuff at around $10-$15 stuff over "street" value so that the distributors have some room in which to comfortably undersell us and still make a decent profit. Since the FreeBSD CD product has a surprisingly large population of loyal direct-sales customers, we can also use the higher profits from these sales to directly fund more substantial FreeBSD project interests now without putting Walnut Creek CDROM on sticks in the process. It seems to work out pretty well for all concerned! Anyway, if you drop me your FAX or snail address I'll have a distributor price list sent to you. I don't seem to have an on-line copy of that particular information anywhere. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
