(I know should be kept confidential). Manufacturing cost is about $ 500.  |  IP: Logged Richard Fowler Film God Posts: 2392 From: Ft.

I love it when somebody say I can get X% over dealer cost....yeah but at what price break?

"Marc, what is dealer cost, to help or friend. (I know should be kept confidential). Manufacturing cost is about $ 500." Stefan, I'd be surprised if it even cost this much..... I've learned one thing...It is better to buy from a Dolby Master Dealer than to be a regular dealer. Your cost is much lower and the benefits are basically the same. You can compete even with the largest dealers this way. Although I do try to push only Dolby, if we were a regular Dolby dealer we would still be considered a smallish dealer and would pay more as a result. All in all, its all pretty foolish for a vender to do buisness this way. In the long run it will end up hurting the vendor more than helping.
