The other side of the fakers, the customers act like your service ain't worth there dime. It is a very difficult business to be in. In reality many times its isn't worth my time, nor your dime.I don't think he makes a killing, but it's funny how the fakers act like you ain't worth their time. But the guys who know their stuff always have time to talk saws and help you.
Yah, in hindsight I think he just liked us because there's really not enough profit margin on any of that stuff to warrant the time he spent with us. One cool thing was after we bought saws from him, if we had an issue he would move other saws off the bench and handle ours first every time. I don't know what he would have done if other saws were bought from him but he made a point that a saw bought from him had first priority. Sharp guy, I learned a bit about business from him too in retrospect.The other side of the fakers, the customers act like your service ain't worth there dime.

That would be great if there was actually a $20 part for an 075 available any more. It costs me more than $20 to just find parts for an 075.They don't want to sell you a $20 part to fix your old saw, they want you to spend $400 on a new one because you can't get parts.
Awww man I'm sorry, I try to keep names straight.
Wrong. Mark up on labor is 100%. Parts are about 30-35%. Units are about 18-22%. We make far more on service and parts sales than we do on new units. It is only out of concern for our customers that I replace carbs and short blocks. I could easily double my profits by rebuilding the old ones.They don't want to sell you a $20 part to fix your old saw, they want you to spend $400 on a new one because you can't get parts.
