In the first case, Campagnolo receives the entire production run, and can accept or reject the items as necessary. In the second case, the manufacturer slaps your name on the product and ships it out the door without you ever seeing it. >>
You are absolutely correct... I was not promoting the licensing arrangement specifically... So they should receive the run (not the entire run, "we makes them in batches!") and sell em. Euro Asia did it and they are peanuts in comparison. Hell, I might even do it! And I am a lot smaller than Campag or EuroAsia.. . And I intend the venture to contribute to the rent too.
Is that so wrong? :)
