I know all those places have considerable mark up, because at one time I worked at a Ford dealership in the service department.
Anyways, the last time I went to an implement dealer to pick up a couple of things, my bill was racked up to 3 or 4 hundred dollars. While there, I priced something (a wear item). Of course I knew they was going to shoot me a price that included a bunch of mark up. When they shot me the price, I asked if the price would be the same if I bought 18 of them (hinting at a volume discount). I got a big NOPE, SAME PRICE. I walked out with the 2 small things I went in there for, and reminding myself on the way out (that's why you don't come in here for parts unless you absolutely have to).
I know a place has got to keep the lights on, but gosh. Do you have to gouge a guy by the book 18 times, every single time, and all at the same time and on the same day?? I don't mind being guoged a little on a single item. But I sure don't need to be propped up in front of it, and having it pitched at me all day, like one of those automatic pitching machines that throws baseballs at you during batting practice. Because that's sure what it seems like when they won't give you a break. Just going to rip you off as much as we can. No matter how much of it you need, we'll use the opportunity.

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Plow and Disc - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
