VexPro has also matched the performance (quality and customer service) of AndyMark. I hold VexPro in very high regard.

FIRST is fortunate to have such great suppliers! Keep up the good work!
Not to burst your bubble but this is why its important to have a competitive market place. All these things are relative to each other. We get the best by have competitive products available. That is why we have great suppliers.

I work with a supplier that is the only company in the world that can do what they do. Let's just say I have to work with them. They don't make it easy but I got no alternatives.

It depends on our demand to drive the prices accordingly. That is ok. that is how our market system works. At the end of the day it is ok to say "I bought something because it was cheaper." Just as its ok to say "this part is now more expensive." Will I try to haggle, yeah, but is just the nature of our system. End of the day, actions not words drive prices.
