Trust me, I sold home theatre equipment for 5 years.

The tv is at cost or just below cost. But the cables, hd box, warranty, etc have a lot of markup

Same thing with fish stuff. Most people that bought 30 dollar boxes of salt probably ended up spending on other things that had markup for sure

so when you were in retail did you do it to make a living or just for fun?
How much of your salary at the time would you have been willing to give back to the customers??
