Yeah. We''ve historically run in the neighborhood of $150 million last couple of years this year we''re closer to a $100 million than $150 million. So what I''ve got in my mind is somewhere between 2% and 3% of our topline, which would be a $100 million to $150 million type number.

Okay. And the trends in signing bonuses, I mean, it seems like your commissions are coming down but it seems like the signing bonuses have come down somewhat as well.
Scott T. Scheirman
Yeah. You know, we''ve been very successful in signing new agents. We crossed the 400,000 agent mark this quarter. We''re very pleased with that. We’ve renewed key agent relationships. We had no major agent losses. So we feel like we''re in a very good spot with our agents and able to renew those and at times get economic terms that are more favorable to us.

Okay. Great. And Christina, the 15,000 retail locations in Europe, those are not in the 400,000 agent count, right?
Christina A. Gold
No, no.
Scott T. Scheirman
No.

The ones that we announce are -- we only announce the numbers when they''re actually active. So they won''t even be able to start to roll them out until after November. So they''re not in there at all.

How quickly do you think these agents can ramp and what''s your sense of their productivity versus the post offices and bank channels in Europe?
Christina A. Gold
You know, it will depend, in terms of exactly where we''re located, obviously, there are some agent locations that are in ethnic communities, so that does a quicker ramp-up. It''s also dependent on the retail company whether they''re willing to ramp out in the middle of their Christmas time, so we have to balance their needs with our needs.
But we would be going through that as quickly as we could but it could take a year or so to put them all into place a year or two, depending on the 15,000 maybe you get 5, 10,000, it just depends on the network.
On the ramp-ups, normally we see one to three years in terms of productivity but because these are on the send side and they offer a unique service because they will have better hours for our customers, I think, they will do very well.
