I think you missed my point...
I was not trying to say whether or not the ranges were correct, I was
trying to say we should *announce* exact prices and then allow for
individual cases to be negotiated.
If we say "up to $2000" then $SPONSOR comes along and says "I've got
$500 available, so I'd like to buy a Steel sponsorship. $SPONSOR2 comes
along and says "I want a Bronze sponsorship for $2001 please".
I don't think that anyone here would think either of those scenarios is
'fair play', and so we should instead announce our *target* prices.
This would allow us to retain greater control over when, and whether,
the prices would be relaxed in individual cases.
Regards,
Andrew.

Flexibility is overrated. Constraints are liberating.
