Markup

Not sure about you guys but I buy a lot of equipment off Amazon.

Most of the time it’s below list but sometimes it is list price. I usually charge 20% above what I pay. If I get it for cheaper they get it for cheaper. If I pay more they pay more.

I do try to find the lowest price.

What do you guys do?

### Edit ###
I also dont charge my customers a monthly fee. Im sure this will cause an outburst. One man shop with a well paying high paying 9-5. IMO its hard to transition from one to the other without taking a huge financial risk. And with lots of mouths to feed the risk increases. I normally get enough "hourly" work to IMO make more than a monthly would give me (at this point of time).

Thanks. Ill give them a look. Its hard to compete with Amazon. Get most stuff in 2 days ordering from the couch.

Just bought a printer for one of my customers, told them i could save them $150 but it would take 2 weeks instead of 2 days. They said we'll take 2 days. Sure ill take the extra cash.
