It 32 dollars more too much to pay on a valve that wholesales at 22 dollars ?? I know there may be " technical support issue " LOL , but 54 dollars for a valve that costs them 22 ??? Maybe its the jellybeans ??

Let me ask you something. What do you feel is a fair margin (not markup, but margin) to the end user, on an item with inbound freight approximating 5% of cost, with 8 annual stocking turns? For sake of discussion, the cost to warehouse is national average (i.e., not a shack with no discernible cost over that of the "shopkeepers" abode).

truckmount girl said:I believe the one you are referring to for $54 is stainless and the cheaper one is brass, is that correct?
If so, that is why the difference. I agree that the brass is better, but the stainless is more expensive to produce and costs both the manufacturer and supplier more, so regardless of which is "better" the stainless costs more.
By the way, Westpak has been working on fixing the issues with their stainless valve and I imagine it will soon be "better".
As far as markings, the older valves were unmarked, the newer valves have "WP" on them. Same valve.
Take care,
Lisa

I am busy - I order from Jeff or Lisa because it is convenient, they are pleasant to deal with and they stand behind every product they ship to you. If you spend large amounts of time trying to save $20 on an item you may only order once every three years or so you are not an astute business person, you're just another broke dumbass.
What an umbelievably stupid, inane post.

Why is LIsa going to jail ?Mikey P said:So what's it going to be Coop?
Lisa is not saving you on this one.
While she is at the jail giving the inmates foot rubs I'll be tossing you for insubordination.
