no kidding derb

that is distribution
there are different price points
depending on who is doing the selling

for example one of the reasons i'm
so *curious* about their *strategic partnership*
with whomever <my money would be on allied .. to start>

is they will save aero money .. especially if product
is drop shipped directly into calif <not utah> where
it is un-crated .. inspected ... repackaged and then
re-shipped .. so if allied is selling 2k aero products
per month .. and the agreement is they buy say 3 months
worth of inventory .. at a time .. then of course aero will
give them *concessions* .. you always get a better discount
with volume

so yep .. that 39 percent .. may be less with the audit

but this is why .. it's so important folks understood
why aero switched from low vol indy dealers to higher
volume regional and auto warehouse distributors

btw .. i'd suspect their best margins come from those
products .. they themselves .. sell directly -- however
i doubt that *vol* will ever rival allied or henschel
... ever

so yep .. looking towards additional info re: strategic
especially if it works as well as i'd expect .. it should
*morph* to henschel

hey at least you acknowledge they'll be audited
that *fact* still eludes some ..

Very good point Derb.
Financial people usually talk in terms of specific numbers when talking of Gross Margin.

As in Gross margins are 39%.

when I see gross margins are "up to" 39% that tells me that the gross margins are most likely less in all but a few cases.
So the blended gross margin Will Be less than 39%

Oh those margins, they keep slipping ... slipping ... slipping.
