Normally wholesale I get prices around 35 - 40% below retail.
This time we had to do a fast 8/4 Walnut counter top and my vendor quoted me $10.50 for FAS. So, I called one of the bigger retailers here in NC and they said $8.50. Still yikes.
Called my wholesaler back and complained about having to go purchase retail. His comment, “Be careful about the grade, our FAS is prime and you get what you pay for.
So we went retail and learnt our lesson. The yield was around 60% and we ended up with a bunch of offcuts.
Ouch, last time I purchased Walnut I got FAS at around $3.50.
