How's this for a truck lettering deal? Talk about cheap , ugly signs. Maybe that's why the customers complain when I tell them it $1,000 - $1,500. eBay Lettering Deal

Now I'm debating whether to place a vinyl & supply order with my supplier or just farm out all my work to el-cheapo on ebay. He's working for nothing or at a loss.
His 'van' price of $24.99 for two sides would sell here for $160ish plus installation if needed. Thats for 2.5 or 3mil stock colors only. Even at a high volume he's working for pennies at best.

At least I'm 100% positive that it's econo-grade 1 year vinyl . . .he must find it in dumpsters behind the Avery plant . . .or mabey Avery said, 'Hey, we can set you up in a little business with some cheap rates on certain vinyl 'overstock'..."
And even if this guy had ALL his tools & equipment GIVEN to him, and found the vinyl on the side of the road . . .he's STILL makin MINUS $15 an hour . . .
I bet his wife works 2 full-time jobs and hates his guts.

When you add labor, vinyl, transfer tape and taxes together the only way you can show a profit is to be an employee stealing the materials from your boss...and even at that you're still working for minimum wage.
