My first thought was to say I sold them, and to use my price in the
example, not Comodo's.
Then I decided I wouldn't either mention that I sell them, or my price,
but rather give the price on the Comodo site, and let people buy them
where they may. All to avoid appearance of impropriety. A moment ago I
decided in a previous reply to admit I (and others) sell them.
It seems I just can't win <wry grin>.
But I'm trying <smile>. I spent months examing certs and learning about
them before I decided which ones to sell. I've got an agreement with
Comodo that if we can form a buyers consortium here in the states we can
get even better pricing. Anyone interested in buying them direct from
Comodo at even better pricing, contact me offlist <smile>.
I can continue to sell them for my price, or I can offer us all an
opportunity to get them at a lower price. I choose the latter.
