If you are selling a customer parts.The mark up is 20%. Let say you got a quote for a list price of 146.53 each. which means you are paying 20% less then that for cost. Now when the parts show up and the cost price is 350.84.WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU PAY FOR THEM AND ONLY CHARGE THE CUSTOMER 146.53.So to the customer.Congrats on the sweet deal you got. ---

When we order parts from a dealer we only do 20% on parts.Regular parts is 35 to 40% pending what it is. We try to give are customers the best deal.I am more then willing to work on the price with them. ---

lol… 20% is something that I wish i still had. When i was in industrial sales we could get between 15-35% depending on the customer, now in contracting sales, I am fuckin lucky to get 10-18%
