We just sell it on to our clients along with our software (> 5 users required ADS). Luckily I don't deal directly with customers as we have resellers for that. IIRC we get a 40% discount off the list price and we sell at full price. Last year we made £25K profit on ADS sales (approx 36K USD). I'm not expecting as much this year. -- Paul _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
