Your remarks make no sense anyway ... Niche businesses need to include a larger margin in their pricing.  WalMart can afford to have a very slim margin indeed (on a "per unit sold" basis), because they can recoup their overhead costs (and make a profit) over millions of units of product sold.

Big businesses purchase in bulk which gets them smaller prices (the more you order, the smaller the individual item cost). On top of this are sometimes distributors taking their cut, etc, etc.

You don't know what Slikstiks costs are. You don't know what their markup is. You contribute nothing by pulling figures out of your ass. For all you know all the revenue went up his nose and he's sitting on $0.

RayB,

I'm glad you now agree that profit margins apply to ALL businesses, which must be incorporated (along with overhead cost allocations) into the retail price.

Pofit margins only apply to WalMart ... LOL    :laugh2:

As I've made clear, I've never claimed to know the actual markup amount.

My estimate was solely to emphasise the point, that there IS a markup involved, so the amount of cash received for unfulfilled orders would far exceed the "over 20K" that Christian quoted as the cost to produce the unfulfilled orders (which only equates to marginal costs on a wholesale basis).

LOL ... point taken ... NOW you're contributing some interesting ideas to the debate.    :)

I guess only Christian knows the answer to that one.

--- Quote from: CheffoJeffo on January 17, 2008, 08:11:33 pm ---FWIW, I noticed that Scott apologized for defending a fellow vendor (which is not, in itself, something to apologize for) and that he regrets the impact of using SlikStik as a supplier.

I also notice that he does not seem to be sorry for calling certain BYOAC members selfish and blaming them for Xtian's bailing on his promise. Those people (myself included) were acting in good faith and simply recognized the history that Xtian has had, including the times when he presented himself specifically as the owner of SlikStik.

Is the recent change a simple business decision because Scott has realized that his actions have hurt MAMERoom or does he actually believe that he was out of line ?

I'm not convinced and don't see a reason why MC needs to be.

Well said!  It saved me from saying it.

Good stuff FrizzleFried !!    :applaud:

Scott deserves the opportunity to honour his commitments.

Missioncontrol, I reckon it's time to bury the hatchet.

Let's give Scott the chance he deserves.

LEAVE MAMEROOM ALONE

how about this

Let's give Scott the chance he earns.

Mameroom:
That's actually kinda funny MC...brought on a chuckle. 

If I outright CALLED someone a name, or outright accused someone of something...then I apoligize.  I didn't re-read everything here, but I can only recall actually calling out one person directly...in which I apoligized.

I made some general statements...if people took offense to those as if I was accusing them...all I can say is I'm sorry you feel that way.  While I may have been wrong in my decisions to offer certain products, I do not believe I was wrong in attempting to get people their products by letting Chris do so.  I do recall that my whole point was for people to "back off" a little to see what happens...if nothing good happens, then continue fighting the good fight.  I will not apoligize for trying to do what I thought was right when it comes to that...I'm sorry if that's not what you wanted to hear.
