Does any one work for REI? Im a mechanic for 2 performance stores in my area. Neither store can give me full time hours so I have to work at both. I really want to stop all the running around and just work at one place that’s going to give me benefits. Im wondering if you still can order parts from QBP and other places at wholesale? And what the bike prodeal situation is like.

Some manufacturers will only sell you a product if your store carries it. But yes, prodeal pricing varies, from 20% off retail, to sometimes as low as 20% off wholesale. Pries will vary from company to company, and sometimes even "go on sale" at bigger discounts. I've seen brands like North Face at discounts as low as 70% off retail. I've looked at some bike prices, and 50% off retail isn't unusual.
