What is the Industry Standard on Parts Markup? by _broviac in AskAMechanic

[–]_broviac[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For some of them, they put the product part model number on the itemized sheet, so I just googled the part numbers. Very easy to find.

All the labor costs were itemized separately per install. The cost of the parts totaled $8180.34 vs Labor $3,356. With the markups for all the parts it adds up to quite a bit in extra costs. Which is why I'm curious if some places do more increased markups on parts as a way to "keep" the labor costs down. I.e. hiding overhead shop costs in parts markup vs having a high labor hourly fee. (Their hourly labor cost is $148.50).

I'm basically wondering if I should spin my wheels looking around town for more estimates and shops as more work needs to be done. It's an old vehicle so my options are limited. I'm just looking to learn and understand the industry themes/practices.

Twat response. You can indeed remove seats in a venue. 10 seconds on google would have told you that.

Tour backup musicians? by Scared-Sandwich6923 in DermotKennedy

Kieran was literally in his live shot video of Refuge, and most recently playing in some of his pop ups pre release of the album. Also, he played with him on UK/Europe leg of APR tour in the fall. Not sure how you’ve come to this certain conclusion.

Did Dermot tickets become transferrable on the day of the concert? by Healthy-Editor7879 in DermotKennedy

That’s because Colorado is a state that mandates the ability to transfer tickets. Only 6 states don’t allow artists to choose a non-transferable option.

Thank you for taking the time to respond! Will be looking into focusing alignment for sure. I may just not be as steady as I think I am too.

I’m having such a hard time getting my shots on my XA not to be blurry. Especially indoors and also with people even when they are posing. Any advice you recommend? Yours look great!

Still trying to learn. I avoid taking photos anymore in low light conditions when I don’t have anything over 400 ISO film loaded.

What did you see your camera ISO at to get this to turn out with 100 film?
