I think I've read all the literature, and I can't find anywhere that says what is the lowest price you are allowed to sell those $6 bulbs for. Anybody know ?

@Ether I've read the documents too and the best I can tell, the $19.99 is a suggested price but teams can choose whatever price they want to sell the bulbs for.

Hmm. I don't know. The $6 is a subsidized price and I would have thought there would be a lower limit on the re-sell price below which eyebrows would be raised.

Agree, there does not appear to be a set minimum. They do state that they believe $19.99 is a competitive price. The $6 is a subsidized cost, and these bulbs are for sale via FIRST teams only.

The FIRST suggested price ($19.99) includes the sales tax.

Still a bargain AND a "feel good" purchase for customers.

Are there any 501(c)(3) non-profits selling these? Are there any special considerations for reporting?
