<div>HI Michelle,</div> <div> I have a few large contracts with school districts. Because they offer me a certain amount of business that I can count on annually, I offer them 30%off on tunings, repairs and parts. So typically if a supply would be $50 whole sale for me and I would charge $100 to any other customer, I sell the product to school district for $70 plus shipping costs. They don't need to know mark up just the 30% discount. It's still a savings for them and they can't get the item for less anywhere else. Hope this helps, </div> <div>Seroe Michaud</div> <div>Michaud's Piano Service<BR><BR><B><I>Michelle Smith <michelle@smithpianoservice.com></I></B> wrote:</div> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid"> <META content="Microsoft Word 11 (filtered medium)" name=Generator><?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:SmartTagType name="State"

I’m doing some contract work for a local school district and one of the schools needs a piano truck. Fine Arts is asking if they can get a wholesale price or if they need to take bids. I’m new to all of this. Do I sell it to them wholesale or go the longer (retail) route?<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></div> <div class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></FONT></div> <div class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Thanks for your
