Buying bits for others to fit
Hi all,
Good learning for me, especially Adrian E (thanks for the roof bars!).
I won't be like MikiJayne and become the mechanic they couldn't find, haven't got a garage now, never had the skills.
What about "leveraging" contacts and knowledge to buy bits for others to fit? In the past I've bought wood / electrical components / etc cheaply for craftsmen (sorry, no women yet!) to fit on jobs.
I have had to understand that the margin earned on the bits by the tradesman has to be compensated for in a higher hourly rate ( cross subsidisation not possible).
Will a garage worth using let me do this??
Robert
