I am fully aware of international times as I have a team of php developers that work with me on a new project, but just so you know, app major companies that work internationally have there sales reps that work overnights in there countries to make up for that difference, otherwise communication would be extremely difficult . You can see when P4U is online by looking at there pages, and they are usually online in the daytime in the us. Again, Chinese MFGRS do recommend a MSRP, but it is not a "set" price that vendors must obey, there main concern is getting larger orders as it's cheaper for them to produce in bulk, they do not care if you undersell others as there not worried about us b & m shops having a fair marketplace. They also don't usually deal with resellers they deal directly with large vendors so that's not a concern either. His SEO efforts have nothing at all to do with his volume of sales, SEO is determined by many factors, for example - backlinks, domain name, domain age, keyword density, authorship of articles, page rank, page authority, social following and a hundreds of other factors. It has nothing to do with how many orders they privately placed with P4U or even page views in that matter. This is not against your vendor, he maybe great and he got you your unit, but it's not true what he told you. Contact P4U yourself and see, inquire about ordering 3000 units and ask if u have to sell it at MSRP. Just so you know, even if they have a MSRP on there site, that's exactly what it is, a manufacturers suggested retail price. Suggested as in you can sell it for whatever you want but that's what they recommend it's retail value is. I explained why some companies restrict it to the MSRP, but even the companies that do set there price, you can still sell it below that as long as it's not advertised, basically add to cart to see price. No one holds shipment as punishment that's ridiculous lol
