Gary, of course manufacturers will sell to ONSL at the wholesale cost - but wholesale cost is
usually determined by volume - the more you order the lower the cost - G


So, putting 2 and 2 together, it sounds like ONSL will be successful if and only if they can guarantee sales of large numbers of units per item sold. Even if they can do this, however, will they be able to negotiate volume discounts for orders handled via fulfillment so that they can sell at low prices?
