We carry ACER, Viewsonic, Panasonic, LG, and Samsung (the unit pricing I
quoted is for the ACER unit).  The price doesn't vary all that much
between the manufacturers (a few dollars here and there), and I'm sure
Bass isn't charging all that much for mark-up.  It's his $480.00
"handling fee" that's the killer.  Mind you, I'm not set up to do
"online" sales, but there's more than one way to "fillet a bass" or
"skin a cat" if you're interested.  Heck, I should really consider
expanding into "online sales".  Apparently you don't need an "800 line"
or email contacts.  All you've gotta do is flood Usenet with "FS",
"INFO", and "PR" posts, answer a few questions (in an extremely
"helpful" manner") and voila!  :-)
