[MLB-WIRELESS] [TIB] A new offer has been added to TIB - 18/03/2003

[Ryan Abbenhuys]

I don't mind retailers who can offer melbwireless discounted stock, that's
brilliant.  Be good if they say, "hey this is the normal price, this is what
I can do for a large quantity, etc" as i'm sure a lot of people get turned
off retails selling on there because a lot of the time they don't appear to
be any cheaper than a shop at first glance.

And I was only referring to that particular deal not any others. Although
there have been plenty of others that are obviously retailers just selling
stock with no bulk discount involved.
