You're still a bit confused...like I said it was a subjective comment...you were the one that assumed I was talking about public cos....all I said was "manufacturers"...

...by factual I meant material + labor + (realistic) overhead...not convoluted boilerplate legalese that fluffs up things like R&D, distribution, marketing etc., etc...

I actually mentioned public and private companies in my original reply to you, so I was not assuming anything in that regard. Your original post was not only "subjective" but so non-specific that you can later say that you meant pretty much anything.

Searching SEC databases won't tell you anything about the margins of most private companies - factual or otherwise, individual products or overall.

Pro Tip: most private companies limit the number of common shareholders to avoid SEC reporting requirements although they may make reports to outside investors as a condition of the outside investor funding the business.

If you did not understand what I was implying you should have inquired instead of making assumptions which is exactly what you did...

Yeah, clear as mud. Time to move on to something related to EA again.

I sure hope that Wicked Grapple comes early like OrangeMuscle's. I have lots of tree limbs and branches scattered around the acreage that need grappling. Now that the county burn ban has been lifted, I need to build the pile up and light her off!

Ive been trimming oak trees, the last few days, and using my 73" EA grapple to build another burn pile.



When I bought this grapple (my second) a few years ago;

I felt the price was fair.
I felt the quality was excellent.
I felt the delivery was reasonable.
I felt EA sales / service was exemplary.

I didn't feel any need to investigate EA business records nor stick my nose into their profit margins. They build fine products and I want them to be a success. PERIOD!

I agree with all of your points especially the last one. I do wish that wait times were less. I guess that I have been spoiled by other online businesses' rapid delivery. I still ordered the grapple knowing that I was in for possibly an 8-week wait because the positives listed by rigustafson outweigh the wait time for something that will probably outlive me.

Wow, this Forum Sponsor's Thread sure got sidetracked and derailed .

Hope it doesn't get locked.
