[Noisebridge-discuss] Club Matte for Noisebridge

[Christie Dudley]

To be clear, there is no soda that has ever been brought into noisebridge
that only cost us $0.25.  I suspect that people were balking at the $2.00
asking price, assuming $1.75 of that was profit for the space, which is
unfortunate.  We simply can't get it much below regular retail, which I
think confused the issue.  I haven't had time or energy to go through and
count what's left and what the take has been.  Preliminary counts were not
good.

It sounds like the club mate at the rates Mitch is quoting are about the
same as what we were getting for the red bull at costco.  I'm thinking it
might not be a bad idea to check around more to perhaps find better pricing
on what we bring in, if we decide to get more.  It's nice to have, but I
don't think it's worth the hassle of trying to stay on top of people who
continue to use the rest of us.

(Although I'm hearing different stories on "official"-ness from different
people - reports from 2600 that they're it differ from what people have
understood from the bottler.  This makes me a little uneasy.)
