Re: Who are these guys?

I can imagine it is easy to find Honeywell gear to dump at prices less than
ADI wholesale list prices. Since the real price a dealer pays for the gear
is determined by the Honeywell rep, and then a special SKU is created in
your ADI account, I imagine prices for special SKU is a lot less that the
published wholesale price. If you're getting bugged by your Honeywell rep
for not meeting volume commitments, then just buy what you have to and dump
what you can't sell on eBay. If you are an even bigger national account
direct with Honeywell you could sell at 50% off ADI wholesale and still make
money on certain items. I have seen the pricing some big nationals pay for
certain items. For the guy selling a panel or two a week (thinking he is
getting a good deal from ADI) I think he'd be shocked to see what he is
really competing against price wise.
