PFG, Picture Framing God
I have a customer who is looking for a print by someone called "Ferjo". I have located the art online from many retail sources but don't seem to be able to find where to get it wholesale. In fact, can't even figure out who represents him. I know the customer wants the art and wants me to frame it. But, to speed up the process my thought is instead of telling him where to get it on his own would it be within reason to purchase it myself at retail in order to get the print in my shop so as to expedite the framing process? I know there is always the chance he will pick up his print and go home to think about the framing but then I won't be out anything as I will of course have payment in full before ordering the print.
I hope this question doesn't appear to be not too terribly bright, I do understand you buy things and sell them at a profit. I'm not suggesting to sell things for an equal amount for the love of it or anything. Just thought before somebody jumps in and tells me to get a clue and take some business classes I would throw out that qualifying statement.
I'm just trying to hurry along a sale.....
Thoughts anyone?
