    Lines with Largest Discrepancy between Frame Book and Actual Cost

    Hi, I hope this thread isn't verbotten and I want to make clear that I do not want to hear any actual pricing.
    My question is, what lines do you know of where the wholesale price listed in the frame book differs the most from the price you actually pay the vendor?
    These don't have to be lines you actually recommend, as I know many that fit this bill are crap quality. Just looking for some lines I might not be aware of.
    Thanks (and thanks for being so helpful with my earlier question regarding tools).
    Again if this type of thread isn't allowed I apologise.

    Hrmm, is this something that's found in the professional's forum? Discussing it out here will be very tricky, but in there you can post actual pricing to your heart's content, or so I hear. This is something that I'd like to see other reflections on.

    Well, really with this, no need to discuss pricing.

    I've never trusted frame book pricing. It doesn't reflect volume or tier pricing structures by the frame vendor.
