Or smartasses like me that get told to ditch a drop-ship item because the distributor is a PITA to deal with.  Instead, I just jacked the price up to $999.99 on a ~$400 item and figured I'd deal with the distributor myself and split the excess profit with the boss.  Then we actually sold one.  Boss was fine with it.  I learned a whole new definition of PITA, but left it for a while longer just in case.
