Exactly.

First, we do not know that the order was as represented (i.e. 50 units for 75 stores needs over a 10 day period.)

Next, we cannot be certain that the initial order was not far larger. In fact, it is my understanding that between Good Guys and CompUSA the entire existing inventory of e.Digital products was absorbed.

As I recall, that inventory was approximately $1 million. At an average of $200 per unit, that would correspond to 5,000 units.

It is also my understanding that the Good Guys order was about half of the size of the CompUSA order. That would put it at about 1,600 units.

That breaks down to 21 units per Good Guys location. If that initial order has already been exhausted, in the five weeks since the initial shipment then sales are proceeding at approximately 0.6 units per store per day.

Of course my estimates might be off as well, but I suspect that they are closer to the truth than can be inferred from a simple extrapolation of heybrad's report.
