That would mean i would have to sell a product that honestly, i am not happy with. Plastic pods,steel turnbuckles,molded standoffs,and worst of all, the Chinese machined aluminum. That is some rough looking stuff. To be honest, i think i would rather just call it a day than try to reduce my cost by doing all of that. It makes me not as good of a business man for my decision but that is fine with me. I want to be proud of what i sell because it is the best i can supply, not for how it lines my pockets. I dont want to feel like im burning my customers by selling them sub par product and having them upgrade the snot out of it just to bring it up to snuff with the joneses. I see where i need to trim costs to achieve the goal i am looking for but all BMI products will stay with the high quality that you are all used to.
