Actually I have a friendly relationship with Go Westy. He buys a few parts from me, and I buy a few from him. Generally we focus on different products, so in certain cases it's easier for one to take advantage of the other's expertise than to reinvent the wheel. I am a full-range parts distributor, while he is mainly a specialist in certain accessories. I do in fact sell his tables and curtain kits, because I really like the quality that he has come up with. I doubt that I could do better for the price, so I don't bother. I don't sell those particular items for less than he does, but I don't sell for more either. The vent cover is an example of an item that neither of us makes, so it's more of a competitive issue in that particular case, and I guess I won. :-) - Ron Salmon The Bus Depot http://www.busdepot.com |
