Re: Beginner's Questions

I developed a relationship with my local glass seller.  I buy wholesale now,
but I still buy from him as well and his prices are expensive compaired to
shopping on line.
Why?
-Every high quality sheet of glass is different.
-Ive gotton so much free advice.  I would never be where I am today by
buying on line.
-The price of glass is really cheap when compaired to other things that go
into a stained glass panel.  Price = 20% glass and 80% labor.  If you change
the first to 10% by buying on line cheap glass, then your panel is worth 50
% of the price because it looks only half as good.
Panel #1: glass $150, Labor 20hrs, price $1200, profit $1050, satisfaction
High
Panel #2: glass $75,   Labor 20hrs, price $700, prifit $625, satisifaction
medium.
- If we don't support mom and pop stores they go out of buiness, then the
wholesalers.  Then we all take classes in Hobby Lobby or Las Vegas.  Nothing
inbetween.
