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?

Subject: Ordering more APHB
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

I'm confused here, but maybe it's just something I'm missing from the
message.
If it's true that we can get them at $17 per book, that's not too bad.
But I don't understand the part where she says "Each book costs S$18",
as that would seem to imply around $30USD per book. Do those shipping
costs include the price of the books, or JUST the shipping?
Thanks,
- Erik
PS: The main issue we're concerned on the board about is that at current
sales rates, it will take us 2-3 years to sell these 30 books, and we
could end up with another "Tropica 1st edition" problem.

Hi Erik,
I would recommend buying 30 books, which would cost much less for
shipping
(per book) than buying just 15 books. Below is letter with the details.
We
sold 5 APHB in 3 months so the 30 books should last 1-2 years.
Total cost for $30 books is $497 or about $16.60/bk. This is with
today's
currency exchange rate of 0.5922 Singapore dollars to each U.S. dollar.
I
was surprised to see that the currency exchange rate is about the same
as it
was in June 2005.

Dear Diana Walstad,
Thanks for your query. We are pleased to advise as follows:
By courier:
15 books : shipping costs is around S$300.00 (bases on 10 kgs box)
30 books : shipping costs is around S$300.00. same as 15 books(bases
on
10
kgs box)
60 books : shipping costs is around S$500.00 (bases on 25 kgs box)
Each book costs S$18.00.
The cost is based on the weight of the goods.

Hi Diana,
I have marked it as "temporarily sold out" on the website, and have
forwarded your note to the advisory committee to figure out if we
should
order more. Normally, I'd remember the results of any earlier
discussions
on the list, but my memory is really fuzzy lately, sorry!
