Distributor to replace SAP? [RE-wrenches]

Frank,
I respect Steve and Elizabeth, and we often refer DIY or out-of-area leads
to Backwoods. We have supplied batteries locally for some of their
customers, and we occasionally buy from them ourselves. But Backwoods is a
mail-order retailer, not a wholesale distributor. Their dealer price is
typically about 10% off retail. And honestly, 10% discount on a $50 item
can't be justified, unless we're doing small parts/retail storefront as a
customer service only. Even the old AEE sometimes came out as a pretty tight
margin when shipping was factored in. Thank you for the suggestion, though.
