They get around the law because its there option to sell at W.D. most of the companies require a large buy in and a minimum yearly purchase. Dart for example is $50,000.00 per year in purchases to maintain W.D. Brodix is now $25,000.00 to maintain Master W.D.
I have been a Dart W.D. since 1979 so It would be a foolish for me to risk being moved to the jobber level just to make a few more sales.
We do sell all our product lines at Jobber which is a good distance below mail order with the exception of Compstar.What you think is a hooked up deal is probably jobber or if mail order more than that
Next time you need a high dollar part give us,Ed or any one of the other builders who are W.D. a call and compare prices,you may be surprised.Bill
