Where?  In what quantity does this inequality become true?  
Why are 020's going for two to five times the cost of 010's by mail-order?

While we're at it, perhaps I should ask what 'reasonable' prices are for
single (or small) quantities of the 020 and 030.  Where are these prices
available?

Now I'm *really* confused.  Geez :-)
