Board grading

[ryanw]

"My recommendation - (if anyone cares) quit counting other people's money and focus on what you can do to improve your business model."

The best suggestion you can give.

When I first started learning, I was obsessed with the grades of different boards, and in the end, although I learned a lot, it really doesn't matter that much. If I'm making an acceptable profit on what I get, then I'm happy. If I have questions about board grades, it's usually from inquiries from my own customers that are wanting better or definite pricing, and that's more for quantity. Ones and twos here and there are a drop in the bucket, and there are other things to do.



Ewasted - I remember a post you made a long time ago, but I don't remember exactly what you said. Anyway, the impression I got from it was to stop worrying about the intricacies of grades, especially with lower value items, and start worrying about volume. That made a big difference on how I moved forward with my business.
