I work at a camera store in SF. Amazon approached us to see if we would be a
vendor for them. They said they work on an 8 % margin. Whatever we offer for
sale, we ship from our location and the pay us the sale price less 8%. It
sounded like a good deal except that they will not deal with sales tax and
we have to charge tax for In state sales. We had to turn them down. I wonder
if their margin is 8% for everything?

Same thing happened to my Unisaw order. Think it is worth calling them?

You might want to and see what is going on as my compressor and dado seem to
have shipped.

My wife made an interesting point. The compressor and dado seem
almost as if someone posted Amazon's cost instead of selling price.
A.K.A. wrong column from a price list. $149 for a Dado King and $100
for the compressor sound a lot like typical wholesale prices.

The Unisaw's a bit weird. I find $400 something to be well below what
the wholesale cost should be. If wholesale was that low, somebody
would be probably be selling them for $800, new. I would expect a
Unisaw to go $700-800 wholesale.
