Don't know you, but I totally agree...
I always want to be treated fairly...I always want a good deal..
But I will be damned if i will nickel and dime the guy who is selling me my parts or doing my work..
Yes, I paid retail....Yes I bought Rushforths. Yes I paid the shop fees to have it built..
I went to them, they did not come to me....And I got everything I wanted on time and the right stuff...
I did ask for a discount.....Was told no....Do you want the wheels ? Then buy them... No weirdness, just fact...This is the price, do you want them..
Yes I did...They arrived perfect and on time, as all the other parts did.. So i did get two out of three...But you don't get the cheap price on custom wheels..
I have run business before, and you have to let the bottom feeders go, but they cannot and will not survive feeding the bottom and cutting prices too low...And they don't..
So as a customer, what you say makes total sense to me...
If I wanted something cheap, it sure would not be pro touring stuff... I would buy a Camry...
