I am on Digest and may not be responding correctly, but I wished to comment on the tape recorder issue. (If there is abetter way to use Digest someone let me know.) I have about 25 years experience, including a 5 year stint as a District Coordinator. I got turned off to relying completely on vendors about 24 1/2 year ago when I discovered that the phono cartridges I purchased in dozen lots at 3.95 each from a "dealer" could be purchased a Radio shack for 3.95 per dozen. I can give you many similar examples. Incidentaly, I found out by accident that some of the sales reps from that company were earning 6 figure incomes in the 1970s by selling to schools. I now consider it a part of my professional responsibilities to know, as Cheryl suggests, when it is appropiate to buy from a dealer and when you can beat their prices and quality by shopping elsewhere.
