There's no "project" , there's no "budget", it's one guy trying to do
something cool for the community. But since you want to nail it down to the
penny, you left out some vital things :
- time it takes to compile such a DVD
- time + efforts it takes to test the disk in several units to make sure
it's OK
- time it takes to burn a DVD
- investment in DVD burner (it wears down)
- Paypal fees
- trip(s) to stores and postoffice
Are you still saying he's overcharging? I guess you never tackled anything
like this, the amount of work is HUGE, and the rewards usually 0.00000
financially (if that...)
