Have you ever worked in a business? Did you work for free? Most people I know want to get paid for working, and you've got to pay benefits and taxes. There also must be a place for them to work, that you must buy or rent. Someone must count and pack those screws. Someone must inventory them. Someone must order them. It takes space to store them. The package they ship in costs something. Yes, the screws aren't big, but the package must be large enough to hold a label and not get lost in shipping. You've got to buy that package and inventory it. Someone must take your order and type up a mailing label and a packing list. Someone must ship them. Yes, it's only a bag of screws. Companies who ignore all of the above go out of business pretty quickly. I want a company that I buy something from to be there when I need them. 73, Jim K9YC ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
