From your earlier description, I'm guessing the person you're doing business with has some "celebrity status" and his relationship to your product is what gives it "value" to the market the product is being sold in.
......uses the market forces to squeeze your margins, that's no reason to "get angry" with the celebrity.

Nope, no celebrity status with this guy. He was a frequent customer who I made something custom for that other people got wind of and started requenting the same thing. He chose a particular component, and I had paid him over $5000 to date to continue to choose components for this model.
At first, I thought he just wanted to get a slice of the pie by demanding that I wholesale everything to him for resale. It turns out, he wants the WHOLE pie - all manufacturing specs, techniques, supplies, and the lot of it in the end. In the beginning, he wants me to remove my maker's label from the products entirely, while I am still producing them for his resale.
