Evenin' Hog, I think all tile sales are wholesale to distributors. Reason being, in an earlier post, it was said that they are sold by the container. I imagine chdt's sales reps put the word out to roofers on products, but sell to their distribs. Howard has indicated that he liked "no touch" in the past and has preferred the role of middleman. He has said that these are to be sold all over the country and if sold by container, guess the container would go right to consignee, that being a dist. or big box, since most roofing companies don't have storage space for a container, and or would not want to pay the demurrage on a container. Doubt that Howard would want to store too many of them either, since he is offering volume discounts for multiple containers. Frankly, retail is a headache for most and if this is Howard's plan I think its a good one. There was a post earlier today with the container quantities and price breaks spelled out but sorry, I'm too tired to find it now. have a good w/e. going to bed. folkie
