Title: 15%?
Post by: mike on December 10, 2005, 12:36:17 PM
This is for any re-sellers/custom
installers:  Any supplier I use has a 25-
70% discount for resellers/custom
installers.  I can make a profit from
that.  How can you make a living when you
sell $1,000 worth of product for a $150
profit??  Am I missing something concerning
the discount for a re-seller/custom
installer?

Check out a company called DBL Distributing,
Scottsdale AZ. They sell X10 products.
Example:
CR12A plus a transceiver (both) for 15.99.
You only have to buy one
X10 price 29.99 (if you buy $1000 is 25.49)
DBL savings is more than 55% (X10 is 29.99)
There are 2 wireless cameras battery pack
for wireless cams, motion detector tabletop
mini controller and more to save big bucks.

Jack,   Thanks for the info.  As an
installer there has to be some margin to
work with.  Thanks again!

15% i'ts not enough, we can't  add a little
more, because in all your products you have
your email address so the customer goes
there and see the real prises

There is not such 15% discount volume,not
commission for afilliates,at all. they are
getting advertised for free with affilates
and contractors, is a total scam.Plus takes
forever to make a return of defective
merchandise.
