[TenTec] TT Mega Sale

[Bob McGraw - K4TAX]

Heck, I just filled up my truck with gas and noticed the price on the pump 
was $3.49.  I also noticed the fellow was changing the price per gallon on 
the sign to $3.44 per gal, thus less than was showing on the pump.  I asked 
the clerk if the price applied to my purchase and the answer was  "no, the 
price goes into effect after the pump resets".  I clicked off the pump and 
sure enough I watched the price shown on the pump change to $3.44, which is 
less than I paid.  The next customer got the price reduction.

I speculate that after the end of July the prices will revert to the 
previous values or maybe a bit less.  And per the announcement earlier and 
as posted on the Tentec website, there will be other promotions taking place 
in Sept.

On current pricing, I again can speculate that over the past 4 or 5 years 
the R & D costs have been amortized in the products and thus the actual cost 
per unit has reduced, thus the retail price can now be reduced and passed 
along to the customers.   Today, basically any commodity that hits the 
market is at a higher price initially and the price comes down in due time. 
Example: High Definition TV's,  computers and such.  It is just the way of 
doing business.
