They really don't even have to be in the same physical place. Just as long as they conform to the frame sizing/specs. It's like some of the knitting collectives. Everyone knits the same pattern in a variety of sizes in their own place and ships them to the reseller. They get paid per item and the vendor gets paid by the customer who, ultimately, pays less for the product. -sv --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
