Thanks for the business lesson I work in an industry where oftentimes it is the exact opposite. We make laboratory equipment, and we sell things at "list price" here at the manufacturer, which is usually a higher price than what our distributors sell at, because we give our distributors large discounts and they can afford to pass a little savings on to the customer. The distributors pay for most of the marketing, etc, and we are basically guaranteed more sales, albeit at a lower profit margin per sale. It can go either way. It depends on how much the distributor wants to stick it to the customer and on the industry you're in. Thanks for the info on Superior Radiator. It will be hard to beat that price, and I may just be able to drive the car yet this year.
