Posted by northeast puller on January 14, 2010 at 06:56:28 from (64.111.148.248):

I am in my late forty and have bought a local hardware store in August a true vale and have a lot riding on this venture and will be living in a refrigerator box if I can not make a go of it.This post struck a nerve as some folks have no idea what it takes to do this. Yes my prices are some what higher and I admit that and can not compete with home depot nor am I trying too. If you need large amounts of 2x4 go to home depot . If you need two come to me.I grew up on a farm and offer a lot of experience with things that the average person who does not read this forum needs my help.I am adding new inventory every day so you have what you need and now also offer Deka batteries and will be making hydraulic hose soon.The reason why small store price are higher is simple. some of the stuff on the shelf that you may need at 4pm on Sunday in an emergency like a relieve valve for your hot water heater. I buy 2 to have and have to pay a broken carton change from the suppler.Home depot can buy the hole case.I am open seven days a week from 7am to 5:30 pm and have one part time helper so I have Thursdays off to keep up with things at my house. This is just like when I had worked on dairy farm .Did you know that when stock comes in my back door I have 14 days to pay for it in full or it is 18% interest.So please keep this in mind when you complain about small stores. I have my head above water but not buy much.I have made the choice not to take a pay check home yet so as that I can add new stock each week to be able to serve you and earn your respect. OK I am now finished venting . Pleas have a nice day.
Northeast puller.

Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow.
