Presumably they custom make it as needed. As someone who has a product with no prices online I'm happy to defend the idea; a price has a period of validity based on cost of production inputs, and warehousing, and the cost of maintaining a price is non-zero. So when the number of orders declines below a certain point, prices must be hidden otherwise the cost of maintaining it exceeds the margin made. They may have a drum of a precursor product that needs another process step before it becomes the SKU you want. ;-) --=20 James Cameron http://quozl.netrek.org/ --=20 http://www.piclist.com/techref/piclist PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
