Paul and others: I agree that $20 is a lot but if one looks at the link to Brew Your Own that is what they charge and they sell about 400 every year. I did mot say we should sell them all the time at $20. Most organizations give their members a 30% discount on their storefront items. That brings the price down for members to $14. This is sort of marketing 101. Most things are sold at discounts today but we do not give our members any special discount. I think that is wrong. Members should have as an advantage of memnership a discount on AIS items. Do I heat a second to the amendment?

I agree with Jim, $20 seems too high. I think the $15 figure seems to be
the best price. Paul
