It's quite common to express discounts as $X each for the first 10, $Y
each for the next 90, $Z each after that, or so on. Then it's
impossible to get a situation where a larger order will cost less than
a smaller order.

I can understand that there might perhaps be some saving in shipping
unbroken cartons of 10, for example, but that wouldn't explain why 79
units cost $103,932.40 while 81 units cost $104,141.7 i.e. only
$209.30 more for TWO extra units and presumably broken cartons and
more handling.

Hi Bruce,

I'm not sure I understand your comment. *Any discount structure has points
at which the discount changes. *That is done to motivate additional sales,
and because it is less expensive to import and ship batches of units than
single units.

I didn't create the discount structure. *I am just following the recommended
discounts proposed by FLARM.

There are many soaring clubs putting together some very nice orders. *It is
exciting to see the PowerFLARM building the required "critical mass" very
quickly.

Hi,

I have finally added PowerFLARM to my web site. I have tried to make it a
valuable resource with new photos and dimensional drawings not found
elsewhere.http://www.cumulus-soaring.com/flarm.htm

I'm taking a lot of orders for PowerFLARM units. Group Discounts are shown
on the web site. Note that the discounts go down dramatically after 2010.
