Re: Back Issues to Store

[Neil Frank <nfrank@mindspring.com>]

why not offer the PAMs to the stores for less. I believe that Gomberg was
offering a store special of $60 for 16 issues (= 3.75 ea). Although your
price is less, I can support us selling the issues which we have in the
most quantity for closer to our cost (say 2.50 or 3.00). If it brings in
members, and we get our money back; and the stores make more money ...
everyone is happy?  I thought we all liked the idea when I first mentioned
it. Just a thought.
