that is cool, but I'm not N. Tool or Wintrax, they don't sell the other stuff I need to keep a carpet cleaning business open daily.

[dealtimeman]

then what would you suggest greenie?

 

[floorguy]

then what would you suggest greenie?

yup....while i agree suppliers in the CC biz need to help keep their doors open...

why not offer shit that holds up 180 vs 300 degree for a fair price $130-200 range vs $30 bucks...

I mean even a 100% mark up of $60 we could deal with (and thats from them buying from the supplier and repackaging)

so in light of the BROAD range there, what do you suggest???

Yeah, it's like one of my local vendors.

They recently moved to a fancy new high rent building, he's driving a new BMW, and they want $298 (+ taxes and shipping) for an "out of stock" fuel pump that I ordered online for $118 delivered.

I'm doing less biz with my local vendors and more with the vendors from Mikeysboard. They know 100 times more about the industry and sell better products for less money.

Now, I don't have to drive across town, wasting time and fuel, to pick up my supplies. They show up at my front door a few days later. It's absolute nirvana.
