BTW You have NOT answered one question I asked so far. It would be
helpful if you either answered the questions or stopped wasting my
time. You, my friend are the one that's playing games.

Please Kevin,

Don't be so righteous. I told you what to do on a private e-mail, way before
you sent this. If you couldn't get pricing from the reps--REAL pricing--then I
would provide it.

I, too, have priced out boards for microwave apps, and I certainly didn't need
to go around the reps.

We need to keep a viable substrate industry continuing in this country, and
anything that could be construed as undermining them is not in my vocabulary.
They've bled way too much already.

I am sorry, I don't remember getting an email from you, would you
kindly re-send. Thanks. Could you kindly put 'PCB costs' or
something along those lines in the header because (as you can tell)
this is my spam email account.

I have gotten pricing from the reps (before I started this thread),
but until you are ready to sign on the dotted line and sign up to the
volume the pricing is not accurate (budgetary pricing), so once again,
so far I know the MOST I am going to pay.

I am in NO WAY trying to undermine the substrate industry, on the
contrary, I am just trying to figure out that happy point at which
BOTH they and I make money. If you look at my above posts I fully
expect and want them to make a profit, but not too much profit (BTW
there is no such thing as 'too much profit', I, like them, am trying
to maximize mine). Remember, I am asking for the lowest price at
which they ARE willing to do business. Once again, I CAN'T get that
price until I am ready to sign and I can't be ready to sign until I
get that price.
