Alana,
Be glad to! Here's the BY prices, and that is a Grade 2 leather. Shipping additional to the quote, as usual.
# 898-25 $ 1,259
# 425-25 $ 952
Can't help further with any recommendations to alternate styles on that frame, sorry!
As to pricing.....I have one of the nations' largest discounters with a store appx. 20 miles from me. Early on I discovered I was losing sales to them, so I decided that if they want to play lowball, I'll go under them, simple as that. I don't lose sales to them anymore that I'm aware of, except maybe on aged floor stock they may have. I'm currently a 1-man operation (can't afford to hire anyone!) so I run lean-lean-lean, leaner than they do. I have two part-time college kids come in on Saturdays to do local deliveries, and that's it. That big discounter has a huge facility, lots of employees, and I think I can wear them down <grin>.
I don't like to lose a sale to anyone. I probably spend on average four to five times with a customer on a leather purchase that most stores do, and it irks me to lose it on price, so to the basement we go on the prices. I pay the same price as the other dealers do, just make less on each sale.....so keep those orders coming in!
