If you were buying at trade prices how did the original joiner make his margin?  

 

Howdens prices are different for everyone ,depending on the amount of trade the trader gives them

I know perfectly well how they operate as have used them on a number of occasions. Always been trade only. Gut instinct says that there's more to this tale and what the tax avoiding joiner schemed up.
