There you are very right. They "can not" selll for that prize. What is
possible  for us, offering sometime gifts to friends, is not possible
for such a big company. Their costs of selling are at least  10 times
higher, if not 100 times higher than 25 cents per GB. Any distributor
would just pissed them off if they did not offer more than 25 cents
per GB.
