agree. this is SOOOOO not the place to skimp on $.
the other thing is, while your advice is great for buyers, it usually is NOT the best strategy for suppliers... better to make twice as much gross margin $ at half the volume when you're a small business... same overall GM $ but comes with less work (managing customer orders)... you prob don't want to hear it but it's true... i'm not saying that's what AE is doing here at all, by the way
