Well, for Europe and Mario galaxy it is known. The cost for the shop is 35€ (Vat Included). The shop makes 12.60€+ "raw" profit, if I calculated correctly:

Hi Just_ben, i dont know where does come from your price for Mario Galaxy cause my wholesalers still dont have one but i can say that for other Wii Games edited by Nintendo we pay 31.5 € without VTA so it is 38 € VTA included. I suppose it will the same price for Mario Galaxy. We are an independant shop so we can make our own prices and for new games, we have generally a profit of 8 €. (without VTA of course) and between 4 and 7 € for games who come cheaper that normal price. Bye. PS : sorry, i have seen the post from your link now and your source for the price. Well they list it very cheap and i'm pretty sure belgian wholesalers wont have it at that price.

Thats from the GC in germany? How high is VAT there in belgium. The 35.0 is "Listenpreis". Normaly thats includes VAT and is the price you have to pay if you buy it from Nintendo. So your price coud be higher, because of the wholesaler? He got do get some profit.
