No, not a right. But I can imagine its tough going. Things are going against local retailers and the
biggest one seems to be the monopoly on distribution. If my main business was retailing this gear I'd
be on the phone to the States to try to get a better price, get together with some other independent
retailers, and put in a bulk order. I'd be the first on board if you're interested.
