Many years ago a very well known model railway retailer asked me to build four "K's" kits for him. They were built with great care, each taking many hours work, and all four ran perfectly. They had all been commissioned by customers. When delivered to him, he refused to pay me more than kit price (bought at retail from him), plus 20%! His retort was that HE had to make a profit!!!
This was my last foray into kit building for resale. (The retailer has since died; may he have his reward in Heaven)
