"I got caught marking up ic's once"... What the... K-Mart got "caught" marking up a toy. Walmart "got caught" marking up a TV. It's called retailing. Don't you appologise for that. I may say to a commercial account" this accessory you want me to order lists for $54.00 + shipping. I will give you a professional discount and price it at $49.00 + S/H. Maybe it costs me $39.00 + S/H. But that's not a crime, or unethical to RE-sell a part at a profit. That's capitolism, free enterprise. Oops! You mean all these 30 years I was supposed to sell those TV repair parts at dealer invoice cost? Shhhhhh...(I didn't) ;-) Phil Phil Bader, Pres.
