Ed, in a free market your price is good because it is lower than the
competition's.  For those who have decided definitely to purchase a set of
tablebase CDs, your offer may be the way to go at the moment.  And for the
DVD-ROMs, yours is the only game in town (or on Earth!).

This particular consumer was hoping to find a seller of the 12-CD set for little
more than the cost of the blank CDs plus shipping (e.g., charging $20 would
still provide the seller over 100% profit for the duplication/shipping time &
effort).  As the contents are freely available, the CDs are mainly a convenience
(versus downloading), so I thought this might be a reasonable service to seek.
I guess at the moment there is no such service, so I'll wait -- or download (I'm
lucky enough to have a cable modem).
