I think the response was un called for, but at the same time I think 50% off was not right either. I can see those going for $150 easily though. Nothing is cheap these days.

If you're gathering feedback, I'll add mine. I would have appreciated his response more if he'd at least tried to say why they charge $200 for it. "It's made in the USA" isn't enough of a reason. His reply was snippy to say the least and it would have been nice had he acknowledged that you and and others on the forum were interested, and tell you why he feels it's a quality product that demands the price it does. Just my $0.02...

I would be willing to completely guarantee they don't make more than $50 on a sale.

put it this way, on 100 bucks they would be making money. not as much as full retail, but basically giving it to you for an aftermarket dealer cost.

they make more then $50 on each sale if the manufacturer is selling them at a retail price of $200.

Man, no offence, but that guy needs to get laid.
That is no way to talk to potential customers. Business 101; NEVER OFFEND YOUR CUSTOMERS.
Yea he makes a part specific to a truck. Yea he has is a small business. Something like this could grow his business, then he would have a bigger business; see how that works? Yea he is in the USA, guess what, I am too. Don't get me wrong, I buy American products, but I don't like dealing with *****holes like that.
He was getting free advertising, and didn't even know it. Now look what it turned into, all from one simple e-mail.
