| Topic | Just how much margin is there on retail products? |
| IdiotMachine 11/22/21 1:47:54 PM #1: | I'm having a baby and looking at car seats. Our daily driver is a small car (VW Golf), so I wanted a small car seat. This was on my mind, which sells for $200: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08C7DDMZ4/ But on Buy Buy Baby, it currently sells for $140: https://www.buybuybaby.com/store/product/graco-reg-slimfit-trade-3-in-1-car-seat/5213434?skuId=69229466 And you can add a 20% off coupon, making it $112. If you happen to have a Registry Completion 15% off discount, you can stack an additional 15% making it $95. If you use Klarna's "pay in 4 installments with 0% interest", Klarna will waive the 4th payment, effectively making it an additional 25% off, at $71. Furthermore, if you checkout using a cash back platform, you can get like 2% back; and if you use a credit card to pay for the Klarna's payment, you can get additional 2% back. This means out the door, you pay less than $67 + tax... This thing is also big and bulky, and kinda heavy (at 25lbs). So this will probably cost at least $20 to ship to me via express shipping (which is "free"). Obviously they still make profit, otherwise they won't sell it at this price with all these bullshit coupons. So does that mean retailers buy these products from manufacturers for like $40? Hell, how much does it cost manufacturers to even make and bulk ship these to retailers; like $20? --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
