You should just be direct and honest and state that you charge 4 times what the competition is charging and that you think that is fine because you have a good product and people are willing to pay for it. Attacking people who raise questions and raising questions about the profit margins of others is just avoidance.

You are putting words in my mouth that you know never came out if it. I have never suggested to anyone that they save 9% on rod bearings. I did say that your bearings are 400% the price of the competitions bearings and that they are not 400% better. It is unfortunate you are acting this way. Until now, you have been pretty open and up front, but clearly discussion about your prices and profit margins is getting you wound up tight enough to lash out at people.
I'll bet you can tell how much of a nerve it struck by how fast I responded.

No matter how much you want it...

I can't respond to your made up definition of profit margin. I can't respond to your made up numbers of bearings sold. I can't respond to your made up assumptions that I am BE when BE is not on this forum and I own Auto Talent. I can't respond to your constantly moving goal posts other than pointing them out.

But I can respond in the style of Dr. Seuss because maybe that will be funnier and still get the point across.

I can't answer to the things you don't know.
I can't answer for others to know.
I can't make up an answer for you.
I'm not anything like the people who do.
I see you make up numbers to stick.
But when I don't answer, you call me a d*ck.
I'm not the person you think that I am.
I am from Auto Talent and named Sam-I-Am.
