Since all that CB provides is the "cost" numbers, I'll provide the same
numbers for $50. Now all we need is two people, one to get the numbers
from CB and another to get them from me, and send them on their merry
way to the car dealer.
Of course, someone else who knows about the numbers source I'm using
will undercut me. I suspect that the low bid will end up being $10
for 5 quotes, and even that is a healthy profit. Hmm. Maybe I should
sell the source info and let others handle retail.
