Auto Atlanta has contacted us about some of our products. They have ordered some and are going to do an evaluation on them. If we get a contract with Auto Atlanta we may not be able to sell to the public anymore do to the volume that they are talking about ordering.

This gentleman produces and markets speaker pods, carpet kits and other accessories for the 914. The quality of his products is highly regarded.

Now, as far as AA goes, well you will get an opinion for a lot of people here. For me, I've never done business with them and never will.

As far as granting them an exclusive on your products, I'm going to give you some hard earned advice. Do it only if you have a contractural guarantee for a firm quantity commitment for a firm price. Don't allow them to say, we want pricing based upon 1,000 units (or 10, or 50, or whatever quantity) but only ship us two now. You'll get screwed. I was in wholesale distribution for years and we would routinely do that to suppliers. And, get money up-front for the initial order as a way of commiting to the exclusive. I'll guarantee that they balk.

If I had a product that I was producing, no matter how limited the market, I would never commit to an exclusive distribution agreement.

Good luck.
