If you stock $10 tips and you charge $20 to install it, where's your profit ?
Normal businesses at least charge 3 times the price of their inventory.
That's with no labor involved.
Home air conditioning part that costs $20 ( if that ) cost $250 to get installed .
One honest A/C repairman told me that.
He told me he'd install it and just charge me for estimate cost ( $65 ) .
This man was a diamond in the rough.
Now back to cue repair biz.
Why do repair peeps like doing charity for pool players ?
They think charging $35 to install a $20 at cost tip is great while he's sitting on a few tips ? So, his last 5 tip install is going to be his profit ? The first 5 or so was just to pay for the last 5 tips ?
Never mind the glue, blade, sealer and wax.
Or your skill. Or heaven forbid, the tip delaminates or flies off ( sh8 happens. Some ferrules are cheap plastic ).
