should I sell engines for the price of the parts without markup? what about
my labor and associated time and costs. It takes hours to run a store and
costs that are not apparent like phones and insurance. How many hours a day
do you think Kens spends chasing parts on the phone chatting with customers
and returning Emails, and helping customers That's why he is entitled to a
markup he needs to make a living none of us works for free
except Ron a the depot
 just kidding

the paycheck mentality is apparently at work here
