Where did you get your numbers for 30 % and 50% then and how does this back up the original point you stated on page 5?

[MarkoD]

page 5 was the previous page.


and what i said on page one was

"I think it's more like 30% on dry goods and 50% on livestock"

but i later corrected myself

I'm happy to see you own bridges, in BC at $3 to $5 a car you could make some serious money.

Unless you own a store in my industry your opinion is just that, your opinion.

So you know, I'm available anytime to consult on the big money to be made in the Salt Water Aquarium Industry...until then im just hoping to find people who own bridges to keep buying.

Sorry I can't keep buying as I bought too many bridges I can't sell! lol
I am not saying you are making big money but I know you are not selling items for less than your cost on boxing day!

Ok Marko you win wrong page...

Not the point. But you haven't answered the question.

Where did you come up with these numbers. Magic hat? I realize they are a matter of opinion , but when you come online and state things like that, some people might not realize you don't have a clue at what you are saying as assume it is fact. Just my opinion.

Also, electronics store and a small specialized hobby shop are a whole different animal my friend. I appreciate you trying to make comparisons with what you may have learned as a part time electronics salesman while putting yourself through school, but you're talking a bit over your head. ( in my opinion)

Also, sorry for the late reply. I was watching my stories on my new tv I picked up on boxing day. No xtended warranty FTW!

Why should any store sell anything below their cost? At any time of the year! If people are gonna bittch about the cost of this hobby than maybe it's time to start thinking about a new one. This whole thread is pointless arguing and really what the hell is the cost of this hobby have to do with big screens? I see no connection.

this is what i said before as to why i'd sell something below cost. and the tv thing came in because i use to sell things below cost when i sold tvs

"having a doorcrasher item which is below cost will bring customers in the door and give you the potential to up sell them or sell them additional things and build a rapport with them. Opening the door for future business.

this is not an argument and you dont have to respond. this is my opinion and if I had a retail store I would run it this way."

All I have to say on this is, thank you to all the customers that came out for boxing day as well as for the rest of the year, regardless how much is made or lost on sales, during boxing week, or any other sale for the rest of the year, our main objective is to please the customer. As long as we continue doing that, by providing great pricing and services, and assuming we keep the doors open then it shouldn't be anyone's business how much is made or lost.....
