Re: Back Issues to Store

[Neil Frank <nfrank@mindspring.com>]

If the stores are happy, I cant complain. Only point is whether more people
would buy them for $5.00 (or $6) each which would still allow the store to
double their money at a $2.50 or $ cost. But if the stores are happy, then
they must know what people would pay.
