Now I agree that the volunteers putting this together are doing a great service
but the "cost" of the DVD is, what, 50 cents for the blank DVD, 50 cents for the
cover, and 50 cents for the cover.  That's $1.50.  You can ship anywhere in the
US using priority mail for $3.50.  That's a total of $5.  These prices are,
actually rather high but I'm trying to be as generous as possible.  For example,
I just saw DVD cases for 22 cents and 8X DVDs for 38 cents.

I think you forgot the cost of processing individual PayPal payments which is
not trivial.

But I think rather than questioning Todd (in absentia, after all it was a
suggestion by others that the price be raised because we're concerned that he
doesn't lose money on this) perhaps, Abe, you'd like to take on the fulfillment
part of the process after Todd gets the master made? Perhaps you can even bring
it in for 4 dollars and be a hero to everyone!

Perhaps before we start jumping to the conclusion that we need to raise the
prices, maybe we need to have a realistic budget for the project.

If it was *our* project, sure. But it's not. It's *Todd's* project. Why jiggle
his elbow this way publicly? I think it's not warranted at all to do that and I
am sort of disappointed that you feel you need to do that. Over a dollar, no
less.
