Are you trying to say the chinese got the better of you? Really Barry I appreciate that you are new to the computer business but you have to be a better negotiator than that to make it. As you are now aware there are entire cities in China devoted to computer parts, the factories DO compete with each other and they DO drive a hard bargain. China is the last place on earth to start to learn how to haggle.
Barry also claims that they sell the VIC-Slim at a loss, even though they sell it for over 2x what the manufacturer sells it for.
I'm not sure if Barry is paying way too much for things, or if he is just really, really bad at math.
