[QUOTE="Blaubart, post: 1726364, member: 37498"]I'm not sure if I'd say a dealer is "sleazy" for not selling when the price is down. Those dealers just have a different business strategy than most, one that is not sustainable in every market. I have ASEs that I paid $36 each for, and I'd sell them today for $28 each because I can buy replacements for under $26 each if I buy more than 20 from Provident. The pessimist can look at this and say I'm "losing" $8 on each ASE that I sell at $28. The way I see it is if I sell 30 of them for $28 each, then I can turn that money right around and buy 32 at $25.78 each. Then I would have two extra ASEs and a few dollars in my pocket to pay for gas and lunch. In my mind, that's not "losing" money. ;) When you consider dealers usually operate on a wider spread than I do, it's a no brainer...[/QUOTE]
