I am also in CNY and my gallons have been selling at $52 for at least 6 years, 7 yrs ago, I sold them for $54. I would never sell a single gallon at $45.00 You need to price it like you want to make a little profit for you.
Some areas might need to sell at $45, but CNY is not one of them. Make a good product and charge accordingly.
When I sell to another reseller, it depends on the quantity, orders over $400 get 20% off my retail, under $40 get 15% off.
Dave Klish, I recently ordered a 2x6 wood fired evaporator from A&A Sheet Metal which I will be converting to oil fired
Now have solar, 2x6 finish pan, 5 bank 7x7 filter press, large water jacketed bottler, and tankless water heater.
Recently bought another Gingerich RO, this one was a 125, but a second membrane was added thus is a 250, like I had.
After running a 2x3, a 2x6, 3x8 tapping from 79 taps up to 1320 all woodfired, now I'm going to a 2x6 oil fired and a 200-425 taps.
