Not computer equipment and some consumer electronics. These things get you into the stores and they make their money on accessories, cables, those sorts of things.

The exception is home theater equipment.

depends on the competition. when dvd players first started off they were like anything else. now the cheap brands have dropped the price so far the name brands can't really charge much more.

I mean across everything as in an average as a store, not for any one product.

That is alot of the issue, alot of people want cheap crap, they don't care that it is crap, just that it's cheap. Which is why most retailers have their own brands now, still cheap crap, but there is more margin on them.

its usually mark up on cost... 66% i think is standard.

so a $10 item was probably $6.

$6 * .66 = $4

$6+$4 = $10

$20000-$5=$19995 markup.

Huh? Takes a GM worker half an hour to put one tire on and he's paid $38 an hour... right theres over your mythical "$5" mark and the car is'nt even started really yet.

So the first thing GM does when assembling a car is put the wheels on? I figured that would be last.

you have forgotten about 2 things, rebates, and robots. When you facator these in, and with the right coupons, GM can actually produce cars for less than $0.


now, i haven't included overhead, but just per unit cost of production, overhead, like cell phones, etc, etc, could skew these numbers.
