I do keep in mind that people have to design and process things, and it's not a cheap labor, regardless of the product, but knowing that typical markup on things is approximately 50% means I can afford to ask.
I'm not here to rip people off, and that goes both ways. When/if I'm able to give a discount to a deserving party, I do. It's how I get returning customers and good reviews, ya dig? But I wont bend over backwards for anybody, that's how you go OUT of business quickly. I expect the same from people. If I'm a loyal customer wanting to spend money, and you're a businessman looking to make money, let's get everybody taken care of.

Oh I totally agree, in this case it wasn't one of our pricier parts and like I said the offer was just stupid. Now someone who orders a few things and gets a good total together I am more than happy to help them out. Its the people that want a discount off of nothing that suck.
