If you dont own the factory your nothing more then a distributor.
There are a lot insults in your post. Nevertheless, you did figure that out Charles so it deserves a reply: I would be a distributor.
That just verfiys your a moron. why would you show how much you paid for something? Are you alergic to profit. If the market will bear it why would you be ashamed of doubling your margin?
You'd be surprised at how well this open policy works in my business. People do actually appreciate open, honest business. And you'd also be surprised to learn how perfectly destructive it is to my competition so I would add to your comments that what you are saying is exactly the opposite: I am not allergic to profits. I am protecting them. Believe me, when you have such an open policy with your customer, they feel like they are part of the business and its right and true: they are the business and always have been. Other models are built on subtle deception. Mine is not. I've built a very strong business on this model.
"old boys" as in the guys who are take the risks and pay for the tooling and start up costs?????? I think its safe to say you have never gone abroad for manufacturing and been forced to cough up large sums of cash for tooling.
No, I do not manufacture outside of Canada, this is true. I have only had 2 products manufactured in China.
Everyone is making components for the M-14.
Not like mine.
Unless your on main land china im willing to bet your not making parts for norinco.
Good guess Charles, I am not making parts for Norinco.
Chances are your just another po dunk back woods machine shop looking to fill space on your 15 year old 4 axis left by the drop in the automotive markets.
No, no that is not true either. But your post was GREAT!
Until the govt jams up your shipment and your left floating a couple mil.
$400,000, and you've got me thinking I should split up the shipment in smaller batches and bring it in with other goods over a wider time period. Great ideas!
