I don't think I am authorized to disclose the estimated price range specified 
in the email because it was designated not for distribution outside of the 
membership, and I am just a newbie BIRA member, so I will leave that to one of 
the Gregs. Therefore, without going into such details, suffice it to say that 
the more brackets ordered at one time, the lower the price of the brackets. 
That's just simple economics of scale, Adam Smith, no secret there.

Please join and decrease the cost for all of us :)
