my retailer (biggest in US when it comes to electronics) makes no profit in games either.

Unless you sell used games by ripping off little kids who traded them in...

All retailers make money on games.

Costso (where I work) makes money off both games and consoles (even though they are known as the least expensive videogame retailer in America).

 

I said make "profit". how much is the difference between "cost" and retail price at Costco where you work?

It doesn't sound like you're an expert in retail sales. You're failing to account for so many other factors it's like you're being purposefully obtuse or willfully ignorant. Or you're just having fun defending a joke position?

He's just looking off the Best Buy "estimated cost" screen that they have at his work on the computers. Most likely he lives REALLY far away from a distribution point and his store is in the minority.

That's the thing.  It's an estimated price margin for just that store only.
