Dean, Ah, isn't competition wonderful? I hope my message didn't upset you. When a new product comes out, you're supposed to skim the market. I didn't mean anything derogatory by that statement. All I meant was that a company usually charges top dollar for a new product, especially when it's the first of its kind. The people that really want the product right away will pay top dollar for it. That's called "skimming the market." After time, when sales slow down because the product has saturated the market an its initial price point, and also possibly due to competing products, a company will usually lower its price on the product. That's all I meant. Dom Fontana
