Player-Care Ceases Selling for QRS
By R. J. Ingrahm

discount to 10%. I cannot afford to do business on a 10% profit
margin."

I have been a QRS dealer for years (however, not as long as John), and
was surprised about the discount dropping to only 10% for dealers.  It
seems that QRS is trying to make more profit by selling direct.  They
are also offering to drop-ship rolls to the dealer's customers.

It would seem that many more dealers will drop out, given the new
discount (or lack thereof).  I am probably going to handle only roll
repair supplies (tabs, spools, flanges, etc.) as a convenience to
customers that buy boxes and rolls from me.  I will have to raise my
prices for these items in order just to break even!
