Subject: [alt-beam] Re: What I think of Solarbotics


Welcome to the world of economics Evan, the only way Solarbotiscs can judge
if their prices are too high is if people stop ordering, that's called
price resistance. I usually get my orders in about 10 working days from
Solarbotics which is just about the Canada Post time guarintee. If you
live outside of Canada then talk to your customs inspector because that is
probably where the bottle-neck is.
