Default Re: Price vs Cost- The bottom line

Here is the deal on Powder Cost.
if you buy 1lb you pay about 12.00 per lb
You buy the same color in say 100lbs you pay 4.95 per lb.. Big cost savings.
So if you know you are doing a big run you by in Bulk.
I do about 30 Truck rims aweek for a trucking company in Matt Black I buy this in 100lb box's I pay 2.95 per pound. Thats a lot of rims. I charge per rim $15.00. Now I do not make much on those but they send me other parts ( Drive shafts, Springs etc) I make up for my loss .. So yes losing profit here I make up for it there...
