Hi David

    Your two cents is as valuable as mine. 

    There are always two types of people in the world. Those who do
    fabulous and those who watch others do fabulous. 

    You've always been pro active. You're the top 20% of your trade (the
    wholesale trade shop side). 

    Not to discredit the fellow I wrote about at all but there is more
    work from low paying retailers than what you are doing. You've
    decided to only work for higher end retailers. Those that will pay
    $10 smaller. AS I said, can't make money for less than $7. The trade
    list I looked over, with 88 trade shops showed me AGAIN that most
    trade shops are charging from $4 to $8 to size a ring smaller with $6
    being the median. A half shank was $19 to $40. can you believe? 

    When chose your retailers and I imagine you present yourself as the
    upper crust shop and I bet you dress nicely. 

    Most trade shop guys and gals act like the fish who attach
    themselves to the back of large sharks. They are waiting for the
    crumbs to fall so they can eat. 

    All of your items are great posts. And yes being an expert in
    repairs is a must. One so you don't screw things up but also SPEED is
    a must. Without speed, folks will starve.

Thanks for the response. Good work.
