The Cyndustries List

So you really think a meager 20% margin is ridiculously out of line 
and way too high for retail? I wonder what Guitar Center margins are 
like. I sold software to music retail stores and they all expected 
40-60%!

20% markup on a low volume items is probably not much at all in 
retail. You can easily become a middle-man yourself. Make the up-
front financial risk and commit to buy the same quantities that AH 
signed up for and I bet Cynthia will extend a 20% discount if you 
ask. Then try selling them at $995 and see how wealthy you become ;-)
