[John P. Myers]

*Statistics by brand based on a minimum sample of 500 sales, though it is usually well over 10,000 sales.
*Statistics by specific model based on a minimum of 100 sales, though it is usually well over 500 sales.
*The reporting retailer(s) are kept anonymous.

* The (against) notes are to compare what the RMA percentage was on the last report. This way you can see if a brand is trending better or worse.
