hiya

I guess some canvas guys must pay those marina commissions Mike ?

Not me, I won't work in a marina that takes a %. i don't mind slipping the owner
or manager a bottle of drink occasionally but draw the line at my customers paying
commission.

Were the same way with designers. We've had designers ask us to charge the customer an extra 10 % and give that to them. To me this seams dishonest and makes our prices look high. If the designer needs to make more money why don't they charge more? We've lost designer business because of this policy.
