I've JUST descovered your wonderful service, and it would absolutely kill me to
lose it before I had a chance to use it. A $25-30ish minimum purchase amount
would be great, and force us consumers to wait and consolidate our requests
rather than burying you with nickel & dime requests. I also don't think us
builders would mind, no matter how desperately we need that one piece,
waiting a bit longer for our orders, either. I'm sure if you implement
this startegy you would get as much business (if not more!), but with fewer
transactions. It would be a shame to end something you've put so much thought
& time into.
Here's hoping!
