I've done some sales checks on the resellers in my zip code -4 of them of which 3 are under one corporate name- and the results are as follows: Store 1 has sold about 85 mostly to people who knew about Portico early on and waited for the release, Store 2 and 3 just got the product in like two days ago, knew little about it and had no sales. Store 4 had one sale. If all of us around the country called our resellers and found out sales info that aggregate info rather than my semi anecdotal info could be worthwhile. My feeling is that while feedback is almost universally very positive, there just aren't a lot of sales going on except at a few stores. Love to hear from someone else and piece it all together. My concern is that early reporting will produce a negative sentiment that is in all probability not indicative of the long run. Whaddaya all think?
