Re: [AGA-mcm] Ordering more APHB (fwd)

["S. Hieber" <shieber@yahoo.com>]

I agree and I'm fine with keeping the old APHB price. If I
remebered what it was, or bothered to look it up, I would
have said use that price.


RE Tropica. If there are other sources, then we have no
need to sell them. I thought they were still reasonably
hard to find. The autograph idea is nice, provided Claus is
willing and has plenty of time. Otoh, if lots of other
places are vending the catalogue, then maybe we should just
put up links instead of an add to cart button????
