That was exactly my point though. The company could make MORE profit on bulk
by reduceing the per unit cost but greatly increasing the volume produced.
Everyone would be happy that way.

Even if by increasing volume they would be making more profit!?

This is the second person that did not read my post. I said I wanted 10,000
6x8 PLATES. 6x8 plates are a bit different than the 2x4 bricks two posts now
