[AGA-mcm] Ordering more APHB (fwd)

[Erik Olson <erik@thekrib.com>]

I'm tempted to go ahead and say "order 30 more", as $500 won't kill us, 
and it's still an AGA exclusive.  Any more thoughts?

Dear Erik and Scott,

Sorry, I had it backwards.  The Singapore dollar is worth less than the US 
dollar.  One Singapore dollar = 0.5922 US dollars.  When you see S$18/bk, 
that's Singapore dollars.  Each book costs 0.592 X $S18 = $10.66 USD.

30 books X 10.66/book = $320.

Shipping for 30 books is S$300 or $178 US dollars (S$300 X 0.592)

So total cost of 30 books (in US dollars) is $498 ($320 plus $178)

Cost per book is $16.60 ($498 divided by 30).

Do you want me to place an order for 30 books?

Diana
