"So
I can get Ipe suppliers bidding for my Ipe order... competing
for my business... and I get all the bids and I pick the
lowest and best. Why would I get bids anywhere else??"
Good
point. One stop shopping for Ipe and other tropical hardwoods.
Tell your friends... unless you're like me and have no
friends.
"Soooo,
what's in it for you? You're not charging me anything...
so why you doing this?"
Cause
I'm such a NICE GUY! OK, that's probably not true. Actually,
I save the suppliers money by handing them your business
(no advertising expense for your order)... and I save
them time because I have automated the whole bidding
process ala my website and the Buyer
Solicitation Form. Result? They give me a 7 1/2% broker's
fee out of their profit. They win. I win. You win. I like
that.
"Anything
else?"
As
a matter of fact, yes. Most of my suppliers do not charge
shipping (unless it's a real small order)... and in most
cases, you will not pay sales tax because it's an out
of state internet sale. Cha-ching for you! |
