[QUOTE="3kgtAudio, post: 8201427, member: 565768"] That was our approach too, low overhead - cut costs, we were right on the mark with pricing and infact under, and had a pretty loyal customer base, but recently a new wave of undercutters came through, which have now made it no longer worth while. Our skills and knowledge which is our selling point as of late appearantly means nothing. It may be due to the hack shops that are posting fake reviews for themselves and bascially giving stuff away, so now what was a fair price is 'overpriced' in the local customer base's opinion. So, if thats the going trend, I welcome anyone to come on in and do their $20 deck installs, will not be us, we will be happily servicing our home theater / security / commercial clients. Btw, one of these undercutter hack shops is now going out of business because they didn't pay their rent, hmm wonder why. Once you start to drop your prices and compete with the hackers, its a slipperly slope, suddenly you become one, its best in any business to retain your value. Profit margins on a product is one thing, but labor is what it is, when that has no value anymore then its time to get out. Heres an example of what sets us apart (just s small example) [URL="http:////forums/car-audio-build-logs-cars-trucks-suvs/491266-1993-mitsu-3000gt-vr-4-a.html"]http://www.caraudio.com/forums/car-audio-build-logs-cars-trucks-suvs/491266-1993-mitsu-3000gt-vr-4-a.html[/URL] [/QUOTE]
