How are you able to buy it at that price?

My take on "sponsored" is free or next-to-free equipment in return for advertising/exposure...

I'm not sponsored, but I do get a few deals here and there...I'm not at liberty to talk //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I work for Lowe's and have an agreement where I buy ALL slightly damaged ---> beat the hell mdf @ .10 on the dollar.

I sometimes have to buy it when I don't need it however. I have to buy it no matter what.

Just curious, do you get a discount on stuff since you work there?

yes. 10% reg stock and cost + 10% on SOS items

the best discount is what I call "1st mover discount" as in....if a grill falls off a forklift, within seconds someone is willing to buy it a 75%-95% off. That is the real and best discount...or you can have deals on birch ply and mdf life me.

lawl...that would explain why i just had a sponsership offered to me the other day...while i am already on with another sponsor. Bmx of course...but im still a noob to car audio. obviously no i dont have what it takes to be sponsored. i am brand new to car audio, well more or less, but im just trying to get an idea of what it takes. but thanks for making me seem like a loser who will never be sponsored:crying: //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crying.gif.ec0ebefe590df0251476573bc49e46d8.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

Sponsorship is one of those things...you most likely won't get it until you're ready for it, and by that time, you won't mind the huge sacrifices that will need to be made as part of the deal //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Im not sponsered, but I get MDF for like 8 bucks a sheet. And Ultimate Audio of Ocala gives me pretty good discounts. I would love to get a sponsership though.
