Quoted from Procrastinator:

Did he really say, "we have to have a 30-40% margin"?

I doubt a lot of the guys out there making quality mods are making 30-40% profit, I have always viewed PDI as a reseller of everyone's products at twice the price, no better than a scalper imo.

Give Lermods a shout and give him your business and money, hopefully a few guys are interested in a slot machine mod and Lermods can make a small run and really make it worth his time and effort.

Quoted from Hougie:

He's only giving you the shaft if you let him. Get your money back. Honestly, that makes me want to avoid PDI altogether.

I thought most people already did!?

What he charges you guys in the US for Romans non reflective glass is a piss take.

Quoted from jake35:

Why not keep his margin the same as what it would have been on the earlier order, no he has to increase his profit because he wants 40% of the new higher price? Wow that's just hard to believe somebody would put that in an email and admit to ripping someone off.

Just another reason people should stay clear of PDI and shop elsewhere.

Is there anything PDI sells that can't be brought anywhere else in the US?

Weird I typed, "is there anything PDI sells that cant be brought anywhere else in the US? Other than Roman's Non-Reflective glass?", no idea what happened there

Don't know how much cheaper it would be but if it was financially worth it for you guys in the US, I don't see why someone couldnt get a bulk order in Europe and send it over to someone centrally in the US for you guys!
