I  discussed royalties with them. We are to recieve 10% on the wholesale  
sales. (last year, it was 5% on the retail sales) This is still  
negotiable but a preliminary contract is here for review. I understand  
that the stores can return unsold stock. This was a surprise to me. I  
will snoop around.
More later.

On the surface 10% of wholesale sales sounds reasonable, 15% would be  
better.  During the three lean years of taking care of my parents thru  strokes and 
dementia, I ran a retail calendar store in a large mall in the  Oct-Jan time 
frame.  Yes, stores can and do return unsold stock for credit,  but not until 
they slash prices in Jan by first 25% off, then 50% off and  finally before 
shutting off sales -- 75% off.  Then, pack all remaining  stock up and return for 
credit.
