How is then that according to the list at http://www.auda.org.au/registrars/resellers.html 
the Primus subsidiary has only 5 resellers. Is the list out of date?

Do some prudent people steer clear of the lowest price on offer for some reason like 
because they have a some doubt about something. I mean like steering clear of a web 
host who offers to host sites for just $20 per month but limits the hits on a site  per 
month to 20k (before charging extra or strangling presumably). I mean I know what a 
unique visitor is and I know what a hit is.

Another conundrum: is something like the  50% mark up or more on.au wholesale 
prices which those from the inner sanctums of the internet seem to charge  indicative of 
the power of market forces that would drive prices down that we all heard so much 
about?

Has the Emperor any clothes left in the closet? I think we should be told.
