Re: LV2000 demands

Andrew,

You missed the point. I didn't say there was anything wrong with selling
them. I can understand if they said that they took a while to assemble or
no one else is doing this so we will up our price. I can't understand why
they would say they were increasing the price because "material costs" were
so high. I was trying to set the record straight on THAT ONE POINT ONLY.
I'm glad they went to the effort and have had a market for them.
