The previous discussion on this was that the cube was being sold at
about 7 times the market price of Zagami. I've asked Darryl about the
huge markup, but he refuses to provide the details on why the price is
so high. If the same cube is being sold at $395, then that is 28 times
the market price! Obviously, I would buy Zagami there, you can get
better deals elsewhere.
>How do you feel about NASA's asking price?
This is not NASA's price. The visitor center at KSC is run by an outside
vendor.
