I get what your saying. But installing fence is a service. Even if your providing the materials, the installing part of it (the service) is really what your selling. What your business really is. Right? Otherwise you'd be telling people what you primarily do, is run a lumber yard.
Throwing service in on this for comparison, is kind of like comparing oranges to apples. Sure there is service also at the dealership. But they have a healthy mark up on that also.
Me and original poster are talking about over the counter, and out the door parts. No service at all, other than them stocking and selling the parts (running a parts department).
Think of it as you going to the big box stores and buying your 2X4's at discount prices, instead of just installing the fence. Or going to a small town lumber yard, and they are throwing you a deal because you are buying all of your supplies there. Think of it in terms of that, rather than what you charge for your labor.
Be kind of like somebody buying the materials from you to build a fence, but don't want you to actually build it. Just stop by your place some day, and pick up what they are going to need. You don't even have to go over to thier place. And they of course are paying you double the price of what the materials cost you for doing that. You'd say, heck ya, to doing that. Perhaps even do it for less than double. Wouldn't ya?? That's what I'm talking about.

Today's Featured Article - Experimental Tractors Article - by Danny Bowes (Dsl). Tractor technology appears to have nearly hit it's pinnacle of development. If you agreed with the subtitle, you are rather mistaken. Quite, actually. As a matter of fact, some of the technology experimented with over 40 years ago makes today's tractor technology seem absolutely stale by comparison. Experimentation, from the most complex assembly to the most simple and mundane component, is as an integral a part of any farm tractor's development
