bikermutt07 Posted March 1, 2018 Report Posted March 1, 2018 Last time I was in Tandy the manager mentioned business membership. This is not the elite membership, but rather real wholesale pricing for leather businesses. Supposedly, all you need is your tax ID number to qualify. There is no annual membership dues. Now this isn't something that they have been doing all along. One of the employees said it had been going on for about 6 months. They let me have a peek at the pricing and I must say, the discounts were substantial. So, give your favorite Tandy a ring and check into it. I don't have a business, but I certainly wanted to pass this along. Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with. Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day. From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.

Members veedub3 Posted March 1, 2018 Members Report Posted March 1, 2018 I was told about this pricing a few months ago at the Atlanta Tandy, and the price difference for the side of leather I bought was Elite $156, Business $152. Not substantial at all but I guess $4 savings is better than nothing. Karina Quote "The only man who makes no mistake, is the man who does nothing." Theodore Roosevelt
bikermutt07 Posted March 1, 2018 Author Report Posted March 1, 2018 I can't remember anything really specific, but it seems like they had a really great price on the 1000 count snaps. Of course, it was business "on sale" pricing. 32 minutes ago, veedub3 said: I was told about this pricing a few months ago at the Atlanta Tandy, and the price difference for the side of leather I bought was Elite $156, Business $152.

Rossr Posted March 1, 2018 Report Posted March 1, 2018 Yep they have done this for years. I think you get the elite pricing but you dont have to pay for the member ship. Obviously you have to have the tax id etc. Ross Quote
bikermutt07 Posted March 1, 2018 Author Report Posted March 1, 2018 Well, maybe that 6 months comment was to make me feel like I haven't been totally bent over for the last 3 years. Lol Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with.

Of course, it was business "on sale" pricing. But how much did that elite membership cost? I have been an Elite Member since I started with Tandy. I never paid an annual fee because I am a business and I gave them my TAX ID Information - that made it free for me - or anyone else that wants to give them there tax id information that is not Military/Veteran/Emergency Responder.. The new booklet I was given I was told it was the new Business pricing that would save a few cents more, and like I said in my previous post, the cost of the item I purchased was $4 less than the Elite pricing. Whether or not this had been around for years, I don't know. I too was told this was new pricing. I asked the Manager how do I go from Elite to this new business pricing and I was told that I was automatically moved to that pricing structure. I wish I could put my hands on the booklet they gave me with the prices. Karina Edited March 1, 2018 by veedub3 Quote "The only man who makes no mistake, is the man who does nothing."
