Paul asks: <<>>"....why do we need to mark up parts at all...." >> Greetings, It depends on how much you charge for your labor. This may be the difference between a $75/hr. rebuilder with no markup and a $35/hr person that marks up 100%. If you are ordering a bench for someone, you have to charge more than it costs you or you will lose money on every sale. Technician's can be merchants, also! Regards, Ed Foote RPT
