| yeah, word ...monster mold owns. However, TRUpah is right ...I hate to say it, but if I were a major distribution company, I wouldn't give any small time companies the time of day either. I would be nice about it, but once you get so many request it kind of gets old. His skit is pretty accurate. You can always hope to get lucky, but it probably won't happen ...hard work, good designs, and building up that demand will slowly make the chance percentage rise. It stinks, but its business. |

| yeah i asked around also ...its amazing how stupid i think i was a month ago. ...and at that time i thought it was amazing how stupid i was the month before. In a month or so ...i will think some of the stuff I say now is stupid, but thats it goes. We learn from our mistakes. Best advice is just to not give up, and maybe take some business courses ...you'll get there eventually, if you're dedicated enough. |

Hey Guys, since my name was mentioned I will respond as well. Distro Co work on super thin margins, for the stuff I carry and don't make Sacrifice, Bacon, Navigator and some others my margin is around 20-25%. Do the math you have to sell a lot at that to make a living, It is also a very good idea to just build up your company and get in as many shops as you can. Distros love it when the stuff sells itself. Keep trying, I have been at this for 6 years and still can not get into the big boys.
