Actually, the "retail" price list (200% of true price) is one thing I'd enjoy watching quietly fade away. It seems an embarrassment to me, and means I could never show it to a customer, because I would have to explain why the company would print inflated prices. I can hope that the bad old days when a company _assumed_ that most of us would like the chance to deceive our customers are over. Not that we shouldn't mark up parts prices, but we shouldn't need to hide the fact that we are doing it. Life seems easier when there isn't that shadow of duplicity between us and our customers, IMHO. Susan
