Well, the co-op gets these sorts of deals all the time with all different companies. I think the idea is that the companies can reach new customers who wouldn't otherwise buy, and they can sell in bulk to them. I think CTY is probably treating it as the sort of discount they would give to a school system that is buying multiple copies at once.

The co-op has some 10-15 group buys going on right now, in fact, and they change all through the year. And prices are always cheaper than they would normally be because of the bulk buy thing.
