[QUOTE="D_Sinclair, post: 1670872, member: 21823"] Wow. I figured Alternate Realities Publications would have been lower on the $$ list, but it is impressive to be #30 out of 220+ rpgnow vendors. My guess would have been #80 or so. While I'm not authorized to provide financial information, I am authorized to say that in attaining the #19 slot for sales by unit volume, it represents 700 units sold for 22 products, between January 1, 2004 to July 23, 2004.
