I don't necessarily disagree with you about the _need_ for a battery charger for many buyers; my point is that, for an unknown percentage of buyers, the $40:00 extra might be the difference between buying and not. Assuming the wholesale cost of a charger would be $20 and the cost to buy from the manufacturer in bulk would be half that, it does rather come over as spoiling the ship for a ha'porth of tar. The packaging probably costs more. -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To unsubscribe send an email to pdml-le...@pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
