And, even if I did, being Scandinavian...they'd probably just sit around and laugh in their demeaning Scandinavian accents "ew look this lob idiot thinks we can sell flat packs of arcade machines at a profit...this moron has no idea. hehe." Well f*&^ you Ikea. I fuc**ng hate your stupid store and your crap furniture anyways. Yeah fu*% off back to Europe and leave the rest of the world alone...

Nice tantrum :hissy:. Seen too much Fightclub have you? Anyway if you think it's such a brilliant idea, why don't you do it yourself? The big boss at IKEA is the richest man in the world!

The margins DIFFER because Walmart has to cover the costs of running stores, distribution, marketing, advertising, employees, etc, etc while SlikStik only needs to cover himself and his home-based operation. So the margin required can be drastically different (ie: smaller for Slikstik)

You could also say because Walmart deals in such ridiculous volume, and SlikStik deals in double digits, Walmart's margins can be microscopic in comparison and they'll still make money.

Chadtower,
Thanks for demonstrating that this is a fairly straightforward line of reasoning. :)
But it's of no use ... I've already spelled that out to RayB, and he doesn't want to listen (or politely agree to disagree) ... he'd rather just ignore that reasoning, and hurl his personal attacks :

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.

Not that I know why RayB's still dragging it up ... that discussion took place almost two weeks ago ... yesterday's news.
About the only thing left of any interest in this thread, is FrizzleFried's question of whether it'll get a sticky.

I dunno about that. I'd like to see updates from the people who got robbed saying that they either got their money back, got their product, or had a successful lawsuit.
