Just keep writing this stuff, then let’s take a poll and see who the board thinks doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

One clarification: The 50,000 lbs of steel metric does not mean that this is the exact amount of steel being affected, and that’s my fault for oversimplifying. I should have known people would take that literally and twist it.

It includes a hella lot in steel fab, but also engine, hydraulic pumps and motors, tracks, transmission, cylinders, and all other kinds of components that are (yes) made of steel, but are coming from manufacturers who may or may not be affected. I am not peeling the onion that far for the sake of a dumbass on a discussion board.

Okay, ignore the cost of steel metric.

Just answer this...

Why did you tell us you're selling it for a 10% profit if you're really only selling it for a 7.5% profit?

You're the dealer. If you want a 10% margin, then sell the shite for a 10% margin.

Don't tell us you're eating $11,000 when all you're really doing is selling it for less profit than you're claiming.

He did clarify that and said all 12 machines are pre-sold and I assume contracts are signed and down payments made. He would look like a dick to say oopps to his customer.

His supplier looks like a dick if he has already ordered them and they know he is under contract with the end user and they tack on 11k.

I'm curious if the supplier claimed that it was around 20k and,they absorbed as much as they could and had no choice but to pass this cost on to him and it would be a one time thing.
