Default New HMT Sponsor (NSFW)



Hey guys,
I finally started up my little garage business.
Right now I'm stocking mandrel bends, silicone couplers, t-bolt clamps, and flanges. I do some welding (TIG, MIG) but that's not for sale yet . I'm working out partnerships with some larger companies, so that I can provide good deals for other stuff too.
Everything I sell is quality stuff at HMT prices.

I know I'm new to the whole industry so all I can do is show you guys my previous business experience.
Here is my ebay accout, I have almost 800 transactions and 100% positive feedback. I've never had one upset customer.

Just shoot me PM for anything you guys need. If it's ordered by 3pm mountain standard time, it will be shipped out the same day. If it's ordered after 3pm, it will be shipped the next day.

Thanks,
Alex

I wanna get into the buisness but too much competition. good luck on your buisness, and your prices compare to other will give you the upper hand, best prices I have seen.

I wish you the best. If I had to make a prediction you'll get alot of orders right off the bat and be working harder than a mexican at a construction site to make $1 on those bends. This in turn will get you swamped in orders with little drive (profit) to keep yourself motivated to keep up with things. I'm actually dropping all the piping/couplers/ect. off my site because everyone has it, and everyone is willing to ----- it out, which is fine, but that's not a long term business strategy.

Take it as advise, not bashing.

All of this does help the consumer get lower prices, but in the end it leaves the reputable long term suppliers going out of business, and the short term price slashers falling out of business only to be replaced by a new short term one. So, it's good and bad for the consumer.

I recently contacted a mandrel manufacturer in a last ditch effort to see if I wanted to continue selling them. for $5,000 I could begin buying 2.5" mandrels for $10, only to compete with people who sell them for $11 and $12.
No thanks.

I wish piping was that cheap when I did my kit. I paid $150 for just the ic pipes, and and $80 for the downpipe, not including flex, and flanges, some ebay couplers for $60 for 5, and a reducer for $45. now everything is so much cheaper
