This raises another thought. In states like mine, where parts are taxed but labor is not, I'd rather charge a goodly fee for the installation and cut the margin on the parts (big "parts" like DC systems). It makes the whole package legally cheaper for the customer.

What say ye all to that?

I mark up all items double the wholesale price, then add the shipping. Installation is another issue, IMO.  A few exceptions, (and I don't have a clue why I do it this way.<G>), is Damp Chaser products and Dollies/Trucks: Double the wholesale + Shipping/Handling; installation is included in that price. 
The one factor that most do not consider, is the time it takes to find the item, order it, etc. "Time is Money".<G>
