I don't see a problem with using a box that has a lot of value to those of 'us' in the trade and consumer show industry.
If a new solution and/or demand can be fulfilled, why not? The cost of the unit is reasonable given the returns available. Especially for a small company in Canada to create something like is very difficult. Only a small quantity can be manufactured at a time so the per unit cost is high. As production increases the cost can come down. As for price, I'm sure the vendor would be willing to ratify the prices. As for me...Justin...what's in a name? The question is...is the device useful? -----Original Message----- From: Shidan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 10, 2007 2:26 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [biz] Very cool little box. Hi Justin, just to clarify something when you say "They are a Toronto company" shouldn't you be saying "We are a Toronto company". Your price is unreasonably expensive. You almost sold me on it though in your first post and even when I called you at "their" office.
