You are missing my point that the RB 3rd party market is not yet a commodity market meaning you have many indistinguishable suppliers and thus competition drives the price down, yet they are pricing themselves at a commodity price level when they don't have to. Who are they competing against? They should charge what the market would handle that maximizes their profit. Right now, they are under charging and in turn shooting themselves in the foot and thus training the RB community to expect cheap prices which discourages other vendors from entering the market. When you see other vendors coming into the same space, then you can think about competing as a commodity. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe or switch delivery mode: <http://www.realsoftware.com/support/listmanager/> Search the archives: <http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/lists.html>
