Your question is a good one, however I think you need to think as someone with a new product line thinks: that is, you don't give out information that will help the competition. It's just good business sense. I know this from when I was researching a business once, and found all those in it close-mouthed. In that case, I was able to get the information from other, peripheral sources, and the close-mouthed business people must have known that, but still they did nothing to give me an advantage. This is much more true for a new product line; you don't tell the competitors how much you're making per unit. Eventually, it can be figured out but as long as possible, you keep it to yourself. I wouldn't even presume to ask about this now (though I think I unthinkingly did ask once), and I especially wouldn't post it.
