How much do you pay for..........?

unlike you, I want my suppliers to stay in business we all help each other feed the kids!

    Today I saw my local janitorial supply rep and his kids at red lobster. I asked him how he could afford that kind of meal. "It's easy when carpet cleaners will pay twice as much for the same products" he said
(This was a made up scenerio of course)

Anyway, I like red lobster too, but if I'm spending twice as much for the same products, I think I'll be chewing on uncooked ramin noodles becausee I cant afford to pay the utl. to heat em up.

I'd like to support my local bank that wants to give me a ten percent rate on my house, but if some big shot company in Chicago wants my business for 6 1/4, I've gotta go that route.

Oh well, many people, many opinions. But I'm right(ha ha)

   For instance:
Price for 50 ft neptune blue/ m/f quickies
   Jon Don- 81.27 69.84 + 3.16 + 2.30
My local Guy-100   84.00 + 10.00 + 6.00
   Ebay - 63.75    55.00 + 6.00 + 2.75

This is what a little research does.
I saved 17.52 to 36.25.
Yes, there is some shipping Ebay and Jon Don. MAX $10
SO 7.52 to 26.25 (On One Hose and QD)

Sounds like the difference between Lobster and ramin

On services, it definatly pays to be the highest piced. That is what I do with my carpet cleaning service. When selling products, it is not as clear cut. Selling the exact same merchandise for a lot higher price buys you a going out of business sign really fast. But if the price is within 10% of your competition, and your service is much better, you can still get a premium price from your customers most of the time.Beyond 10% though, and you are going to lose sales, especially on the higher ticket items.Most dealers of cars are going to have a hard time getting more than $22,000 for the same car that the dealer down the street is selling for $20,000 unless that dealer service really stinks.

SGK has 5 trucks now...with employees making over 100 thou each...

No, only 3 trucks cleaning full-time. The Vortex units come with their own trucks. I wont have the other 2 trucks until June next year.Funny how you forget that I have run my carpet cleaning business here in Calgary for over 26 years now. Hardly an overnight success. I would have a 10 truck business by now if not for the $1 million revenue loss that the HR dispute has cost me these last 3+ years.
