Re: ADI Pricing question

["Doug" <not@xxxxxxxx>]

Everybody seems to pay a different amount at ADI, and its not only dependent
on volume. I don't know what RLB pays for his product, but I know that if he
only marks up his product by 35%, which he has often stated,  then he isn't
paying 54% less than the average low volume dealer.
