Sorry Bob,
I have specials running all the time, that range generally from 25% to
90% off. The DLP items seems to be a good seller in the US, and are a
good product, but haven't been selling for me, so I reduce the price,
and move them out.
Nothing wrong with the modules at all, simply not selling well for me.
Cheers Don...
