tfabris carpal tunnel Registered: 20/12/1999 Posts: 31583 Loc: Seattle, WA	The number of Mark1 players has not been disclosed exactly, but it is believed to be somewhere between 350 and 400. I would guess that the number of Mark2 players sold so far exceeds 1000, but I'm not certain. Does anyone from Empeg want to disclose that information? ___________ Tony Fabris _________________________ Tony Fabris

rob carpal tunnel Registered: 21/05/1999 Posts: 5335 Loc: Cambridge UK	empeg sales figures don't mean much any more - the number of players we sold over the last year and a half are expected to be equalled in the first month of Rio Car sales. Rob

Increase the number of people your advertising reaches, and a sales increase should follow (one would hope...). Bill B. Mk.2 SN 080000183 - 38 GB / Green _________________________ [orange]Bill B.

Dignan carpal tunnel Registered: 08/03/2000 Posts: 12320 Loc: Sterling, VA	It's been said many a time that the empeg price will not drop much. Aside from the fact that Rio can probably source parts easier, there aren't many ways that they could cut it down. I'm sure the reason sales are expected to increase is because of the greater visibility of the company. ALOT more people know who Rio is than empeg (no offense ). Although I'd think the people who would buy this product already know about it. Oh well, I sure hope everything goes well!! DiGNAN _________________________ Matt

rob carpal tunnel Registered: 21/05/1999 Posts: 5335 Loc: Cambridge UK	Rio Car prices haven't been announced, but are not expected to vary from the current range to any significant degree. Of course production costs will decrease (a little) due to increased production, but this will be offset by the need to introduce a dealer margin. Rob
