So you think a 72,5% margin only for the retailer is fine, because that´s what we are talking about here.dice wrote: ↑Thu May 13, 2021 6:48 amThis is simply how the world works. The material is only a little part of the costs.wakijis wrote: ↑Thu Apr 29, 2021 9:49 pmLong time reader of the forum and now finally the need to write something made me create an account.
Maybe you want to ask your local dealer why he is selling a kite for 1349 while he is paying roughtly 660 for it. I wonder how much he pays for the other ones listed.
I also wonder how much the company pays for the production of the kite in china and how high the material cost are in the end. If you cut it down: same margin for reatailer, company and producer you´ll end up with your life hanging on 150 bucks of material.
You have manhours, R&D, transport, storage, administration, taxes, profit, ...
I'm still amazed about how little people know about this.
Look at restaurants, look at how much you have to pay there and look at how much you have to pay when you make it yourself at home.
Huge price difference right? Wow they must be scammers then, the material cost is so little
The world runs on demand and supply.
The median of products traded for where I´m from is 33,2%, which includes fresh vegetables, which are traded at roughtly 100% (but hey, fresh stuff, you know - gets "unfresh").
It would be interesting to know how other companies prices come up, i.e. if they put the same margins on retailers.
