"They look it up on the computer and the guy shows me the screen to see if this is what I am looking for. It had the prices listed and it owed their cost was $170 and selling for $199. Is this out of line? By the way we never did find SparQ, nor did they know anything about it."

Saw the internal SparQ at Best Buy, I assume they may now be available at Fry's and CompUSA. The 15% margin isn't too surprising to me, considering that PC's in the around $1000 price range get 10-15%. This price you saw may not include different rebate/incentives to the retailer (i.e. that could be a single unit/low volume price). Only one company I know of currently commands higher margins, Creative Labs.
