-I am intrigued by this whole pricing structure. Norman asked me if I
was interested in the wheels and we e-mailed about the pricing for me to
sell them through Firestone. So I figured I could buy them at wholesale
distributor price, and sell them to the DML for jobber (usually a 10%
markup, and everybody wins) Norman offered a 23% discount to me, and
possibly more based on the volume that I sold. Here's the RETAIL
pricing that he gave me, and what this discount was deducted from:

Now, he says that he never offered me this pricing, and says :
" I will put the pencil to the paper
and try to figure a
price that works for both you and I .at them moment I
really do not know
where the 23% came from (must be those computer hackers
!@!) sorry for the
confusion but that discount does not work for me ."
I'm leery of anyone that offers something, then renigs on a price
quoted. If I wasn't the nice guy I think I am, I would call the FTC and
sue him and make him sell me all his stock for the price he quoted me.
I hope anyone that buys these wheels is happy with them, and finds that
they are of a good quality. I'd hate to hear someone's getting shafted
the way I feel I did. Let me know if I'm way out of line on this.
