It is limited by these factors: a) I am self-distributing it, so I will burn out on the task of fulfilling orders. b) If sales trickle at around the 1000 mark, then I'd be hard-pressed to make more under the assumtion that demand has been met. According to my best-guess estimate, I'd figure that I'll never sell out all 1000, not without selling to wholesalers. c) We don't want to compete with our future CD with Intellivision Productions, so we'd like to either liquidate to wholesalers or sell out by the time the new CD is released. >#2: How does one pre-order it? There are no pre-orders. They probably won't be necessary. A batch of 1000 is being created next week and we'll sell 'em as orders come in. >#3: If we wanted to pick up more than one, is there a limit? No limit this time. >#4: How much will it cost? Not yet determined, but here is a rough guess (subject to change) Units Price 1 $30USD RETAIL 10-49 20 Group discount 50-99 15 Group discount 100+ 10 Group discount This includes the booklet as well. The CD with Intellivision Productions will probably have a simple tech-related insert for the jewel box unlike our booklet with the reformatted game manuals. Also looking at these bundle deals in relation to Stella at 20: Tapes PRICE individual $30 RETAIL 2-tape set $50 special 2-tape set + Stella CD $75 special Each tape approximately 90 minutes (that's as long as BetaSP master tapes get and about as much as my nonlinear editing system's hard drives can hold.). We may also have something special to raffle off at CG Expo if you purchase all 3 items. When everything is finalized, we'll issue a press-release here and on RGVC. If anyone here is interested in purchasing large quantities of CDs or tapes, please let me know. Although selling at individual retail is more profitable, I would prefer to liquidate stock as quickly as possible. I'm especially interested in someone willing to handle european sales of the CD. As you can tell, we are putting a lot of effort (with the help of Stellalist) to make sure the PAL portion of the CD is complete. I will have 250 copies of each Stella at 20 volume at the show. Although I hope sales will be brisk, I probably won't sell out by show's end. In order to maintain economy of scale, I shouldn't make fewer than 250 tape runs. As such, I'm interested in ways to sell to some form of distributor. --Glenn -- Archives (includes files) at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/archives/ Unsub & more at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/
