There is no, "their" and "my" jobber price. Jobber price is jobber price....the price lists come from the manufacturers.
If they still made the HS9500i I could tell you what Jobber price was on it.
Either way:
#1 99% of online customers buy parts at jobber price or below
#2 Jobber price is obviously not my price or I couldn't sell the parts to you for Jobber or less.
#3 What my discount is below jobber varies based on the product, some parts its zero, some 3%, some 50%, just depends on what it is. The more buying power you have, the deeper your discount is.
"Jobber" price really isn't jobber price at all.....just a reference point to go from.
In a real parts store, nearly nobody buys parts at Jobber, they're buying at dealer, stocking dealer, master installer etc., prices, which are quite a bit higher than jobber. Unfortunately parts sales on the internet do not have that kind of margin. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

I never stated "Their jobber" and "My jobber"... I stated that their jobber price was higher than i bought it for from another dealer. And that their jobber price was lower than what they list in their ads. Maybe I was mistaken using "jobber" to describe the price they gave me, it's been awhile. BUt it was basically the price that a dealer could buy it from them to resell. And if you think they are making nothing on a winch and just selling them to the dealers for what they pay, then you are mistaken. How would they stay in business? Plus, they are a distributor and you are the end dealer. They are certainly going to be able to get them cheaper than you and are making something off the winch you just bought from them to resell. I have dealt with distributors and companys like Warn in the past when it comes to resale, I know how it works.
