Infuriating to think that all these places can sell products with a 50% discount and still make money. The rest of the time how much are they raking in? But we are all scraping by and gotta do what we gotta do. Thanks for letting me vent.

      I once worked in retail electronics. TVs and PCs ran at 5% margin, while cables and connectors ran at 90%. Some $20 cables were worth $1.

      I’m happy to bail out grocers on their overstock products that I usually buy anyway. But anywhere else I just don’t believe in sales.
