    okay now lets see here im paying for the shipping for them to go out. hence 50 shipped
    so thats 37 and some change for the grill,

    i paid a little less that 9 dollars per grill.

    so now thats me making 28 dollars each grill and them saving over 20 on each grill.

    since im working and i dont want to do percentages. percentage that for me please.

    please note: 50 shipped, not 50 plus shipping, thanks.

    Gladly, at $9 (your cost) with a turn around profit of $28. That comes out to a 310% profit on your end. And not once did I say $50+ shipping, I worked all the numbers with shipping expenses included. Seeing as the shipping costs can be very relative, ranging from $4-$13. I was looking for more of a range of data (this is why I gave you a range of percentages, not just one). I do not have all the numbers so it would not be fair to give you an exact value. And just so you know, not every grill is going to ship for $13.

    So do you see how that works? I gave you a range of 290%-610% and your mark up fell right in at 310%... That's because you assume your shipping cost will be $13 on each grill, if your shipping was more towards $4; just like OTHERS have paid. Then it would be more towards 610%. But if your cost for each grill was "just under $9", then why do you assume your shipping cost is going to be $13? Shouldn't it be more towards ~$5 then? More precisely, if your in each one at $9 and only paid $4.22 for each grill; then the shipping would be $4.78.

    You got the grills at 93% off. You are selling them at 34% off. And you are going to make a reasonable amount of money off it. If you were really hooking us up you would have extended the offer to us, passed it along to as many people as you could. And you would not have hoarded 9 to yourself. It's as simple as that.

    okay and since my price was 4.22 and the normal price is 64ish, yeah the percentages are going to be higher cause the price i paid is low, yeah way lower.

    but the savings for me and the person are relatively the same at $28 and $20, now lets stop looking at percentages there, you proved me wrong. lets look at actual dollar amounts. im making 28 bucks, they are saving over 20. so whats the problem with that? you want me to make like 10 bucks a grill and make their savings 38 a grill when i made the decision to buy a bunch at a cheap price, and i still need to market them, and take time out of my day to take them to ups and ship them.

    so Sir, how much would you sell them for, based off of your "percentages" to make the percentages the same for both parties.

    Actually, savings for the product alone for you is ~$60.

    I'm not asking you to do anything, I could really care less if you sold them for $1,000 a grill. What I am saying is that even though $50 is indeed a GOOD deal; with the very fortunate circumstance you had to get them at ~$4ea, if you were actually looking out for and trying to hook up other TW members you would have either 1) told everybody to jump on them, or 2) at least sold them for fairly cheap (IN RELATION to what you had paid).

    You did neither, all you really cared about was what you could stuff into your wallet. You got an absolute steal, and are passing it along as a decent deal. I can't blame you for that, but don't call it hooking us up when you got it for ~$9 and are charging more than 5x more than what you paid.

    And it wouldn't matter what I would charge. If it wasn't an awesome deal, I wouldn't BS everyone and tell them how I am hooking them up.

    He did tell people, and they did jump in. If you dont want one dont buy it. Simple. If you dont care then why are you still talking? Go troll some other sale thread

    He may have told people but it was short lived, he hoarded them to himself solely to make money. It was smart, very well played.

    Don't need one.

    I think you've overlooked what I was saying..

    Troll? whats a troll?

    Exactly. You are being a troll. And if what Eric did was smart than I guess you usually do dumb shit. Congrats. Go find your own deal and give it away to TW for nothing. Until you do, stop with the holier than thou attitude
