If a formal quote for 5k pieces comes in at 20X a formal quote for
250k pieces, that's interesting information. But if a formal quote
for 5k pieces is 20X the 250k price stated in a press release, that's
hardly surprising.

Which is it?

Any price you see in a press release should have a "j" after it.
