wholesale?

[Clyde Hollinger]

Joseph,

You say "My Piano Shop" will ship the dolly free?  Hard to believe.  If,
on the other hand, the purchaser has to pay ($40 or whatever) shipping,
the dolly will still cost him/her $335, compared to the $360 you would
charge.  You could sell it for $300 and still make a hundred bucks --
not too bad, I should think.

Regards,
Clyde
