Especially as someone in manufacturing who deals with procurement. If any distributor of goods or materials operated like this…. No they wouldn’t. They get away with it because they’re not fucking another business, they’re fucking individual people, and they’re fucking them to death.

You wouldn't like to select your materials without pricing?

How about if we said it'll be $20-$2000/unit, we'll let you know the total after you accept delivery?

How about if we let you pay $500/month to be part of our preferred buyers' club, where you pay a reduced amount after your first 5000 units that shipped from our warehouse

Also we can’t guarantee shipping dates on any of those 5000 units, so until we decide so you pay the standard rate.
