I think if we throw in that it is a fundraiser for a good cause, people may forgive the cost a bit as long as it is close to the market rate.
Our team just received the cases we ordered (sponsored by a few parents and mentors - if the bulbs sell, the sponsors get their money back. If they don't, they get the bulbs.). One of the mentors made a comparison display that holds 4 bulbs with a watt meter to show the energy use. It's very cool. We will probably rely on sales at parent's and mentor's workplaces and with friends and families. We've been given permission to sell them at our largest demo of the summer, the Monroe County Fair.

Monroe County WHERE?!!
Also, I want to say this: most of the sales tips I've seen in this thread so far is almost exactly how I used to sell band candy when I was in high school.
