If people think that ReDrum is getting rich selling this stuff then you are sadly mistaken. It is a labor of love for him with a very small profit margin. He sold some items recently for what on the outside looked like very large amounts. I was one of the very few with inside info on how and where he acquired this equipment and I would like to state that it wasn't given to him! He paid huge bucks to get it! And that's not even factoring in that he had to travel clear across the country to pick it up and then return home(when gas was still $4 a gallon). He is going to have to sell a very large amount of equipment before he even gets to the break-even point. It is being very small and ignorant to even suggest that he doesn't need to watch the bottom line and worry about shipping supplies and other expenses.
The story I like to tell is the one where I had a buyer complain a couple of years ago that I charged $4.50 for shipping and handling for a record album. He thought it was too high because postage was only $2.50. I explained to him that on top of the $2.50 I paid $1 for the new LP shipper, and the other dollar of the price went for paper, tape, travel expense, and ink. He wrote back and told me that I was being very petty thinking I had to charge for ink. I told him I agreed with him that I thought charging for ink was being petty, up until the time once every 4 to 6 weeks that I had to pay $52 for a pair of ink cartridges. At that moment it didn't seem petty at all.
