Just did some quick figuring...
If a hobby shop wanted to stay open utilizing only a 5% markup so he could compete with the internet only shops...
Given he wants to pay expenses at his shop and also at his home, for me and my expenses are low.... I would need to sell $60,000.00 per month. Ain't gonna happen. Glad I have the computer repair and CD/DVD production sides to the business.
Also what people fail to take into account is shipping. I have seen some sites where the prices were low, but when you added the shipping charges, it was the same price as buying it in my shop. Some people do not think of shipping charges.
