[s-cars] RE: urS4 Bentleys

[serge]

Bill,
Being in the corporate design/marketing business, I have contracted many
printing/manufacturing firms. The sad reality is when it comes to offset
printing the set-up costs are pretty high. Once everything is set up and you
have a print run of 10,000 or more then you're able to diminish those
one-time costs over a large number of units. Don't forget once you get that
stuff printed, you have to fold, trim, and bind it.  This equipment also has
some significant set-up costs. Even if we had 5,000 people interested, those
one time costs along with cost of paper and shipping may not make this
possible.
