| Degausser said: 20% is very low compared to most retail margins which are often 100% plus. Obviously it depends on what you're selling, but 20% isn't alot when you think of all the costs asscociated with running a game shop - staff wages, electricity / heating, loss to theft, tax, store rental and games not selling and thus being sold off cheap. |
Don't waste your time explaining things to people. People like the ones arguing here do not realize that buying something for $48 and selling it for $60 is NOT $12 of profit. They don't realize that the cost of running the store comes out of that. or that for ever Halo game that comes out and sells bucket loads at full price, there's loads of copies of Shovelware Party on clearance for $15 that cost them more than $15. Math is hard, and they are ignoring everything besides $60-$48=$12.
