    As an addenda to the post of mine from yesterday here's something for
    you all to think about. Please note that I'm not exactly in a cheap
    area of the country to do business, but my costs are not too far out
    of line in general. I reviewed my QuickBooks P&L statement and found
    that it cost me on an annual basis, just to open my doors everyday
    (i.e. for rent, utilities, phones, advertising, professional fees,
    office supplies, boxes and wrapping, tools, insurance--this figure
    does not include any salaries or amortized build out expenses),
    approximately $160,000 or $3200/week. This does NOT include any
    material costs, solder, etc. That is just to open my door five days a
    week, 51 weeks per year. And some of you are going to say that
    charging $100 for a sizing is too much??? Before challenging Mr.
    Geller's book, take a look at what the REAL costs are of doing
    business in America. Then take another look at what he's telling you
    to charge.
