All hardware in surf shops has a max 30% mark up,eg wet suits surfboards,fins,kites,kite boards,we rarley make 30%,i been in buissness since 1996,and can assure you of this FACT, any shop selling hardware more than 30% is loosing money,TONYw_ndrunner wrote:Hi Tony,tony montana wrote:Is this guy for real,we work on 30% to 20% max,TONY
So are you suggsting that when a shop has a sale and an item is marked down more than 30%, they are actually selling it at a loss....
Or does the company/supplier sell over stock to a store for 50% off, so that the they still can make the minimum to stay afloat...
It might be unfair to compare sporting goods shop to an auto dealership where you have sticker price, invoice price and actual dealer cost....
once the actual dealer cost is established and known then the buyer can negotiate a reasonable mark up between 4 and 9 percent...
you are simply asked to consider whether transparency and reasonableness create more of a win/win situation and perhaps create more of a level playing field between the on-line and actual store front shops...
