I have had good dealings with Newman and Great Lakes (personally
and for my employers). I had some not-so-smooth dealings with
Computer Clearing House a while back (1987), but things were
eventually made to my satisfaction. They might have improved
since than.

That's about right... resellers will pay 1/4 to 1/3 of the price
they expect to resell at. Lower if it's not a hot item.

Yep... I just gave away a box of those not too long ago
(to a list member).
