Dante is first class, I have had good luck with roseville but that is on mechanical parts.
Price? Come on? Manufacturers sell whole sale to distributors and in the auto parts bus a good estimate is at a .50 multiplyer.
So they can sell at a .25 off and still put dinner on the table.
Those guys buy many many thousands of dollars a year, they also provide advertising after the sale service and most importantly they pay quickly. Those things all cost a mfr money
Ihave been in the wholesale distribution business for more than 30 years. A homeowner walks in off the street and wants to but one item? He's payin list and I'm makin 65%+. One of my avg contractors comes in and wants a case he's gettin 40% off that list. If they are a big company and they want to buy a pallet of them? 50 Off list. Buy a pallet & pay in 10 days 55-60% off list.
High volume and quick pay gives me the money to pay a man to stand there and wait for joe schmuck to make up his mind weather to buy a five dollar item or buy a $4.95 item.
Now all those margins might make someone think that we are rollin in bucks and are robbing them blind. When in reality after all the bills are paid MFR, Help, tax, rent, gas, elect on and on and on the total net margin is usually 4 to 6 %.
