If you really don't need a custom tank, this fellow can also probably
sell you a stock tank from Ronco for a better price than going direct.

That would be highly unlikely, since Ronco's price is about half what
any of their dealers have to charge. Otoh, it never hurts to ask.

Ronco sells for 60% of catalog price direct. I've bought 4 tanks from
them over the past 6 years. They don't have dealers. Any one can set
up shop and call themselves a yacht accessory operation and resell
their tanks.

I've heard that he's been able to do this in the past. How would Ronco have any
dealers at all, if the public could buy cheaper than the dealer. That doesn't
make much sense.

No it wouldn't, nor is it what I said. A dealer has to sell for more
than he pays to make any money. If a mfr sells to the public for less
than a dealer has to charge his customers in order to make anything,
it's cheaper to go direct.
