[QUOTE="Silas Pradetto, post: 100036, member: 34"] Re: Pro Audio Sales I became a dealer initially to get competitive pricing on all the production inventory that we use in the ordinary course of business. Of course there are minimums, lots of tax implications, inventory, etc. In order to maintain good business with my main vendors, I turn over inventory every year or two. What started as mostly a 'for us' type of dealership has expanded significantly into supplying our installs and many, many forum guys with good gear at the best prices we can afford to offer. We figure if we get the benefit of being dealers, and you guys on the forum are helping us make our minimums and keep the reps and such happy, we will pass on the savings to you. So far, it's working. Of the 30+ vendors we are manufacturer-direct with, only one has ever dropped us, and they are universally considered a PITA to deal with anyway, so I don't care. If you intend to make any money off selling product, good luck, it isn't going to happen. [/QUOTE]
