Marked Up

With the new law pending approval the PH world has experienced a dramatic turn of events in a relatively short time. As a result the liquidation sales have shown up on near every on-line retailer. Sales promotions have been stating prices have been "slashed" to at or below cost - point being it is now visible what the average mark up on these supp's has been.

And? Your point being? Do you know how much is costs to actually run a business? Apparently not. As someone who owns a few retail stores, let me tell you it's damn expensive. Do you have any idea of how many bottles of products these businesses would have to sell at only a couple dollars profit per bottle to even come close to paying their overhead expenses? They are running a business to be profitable, not to be nice guys and give people product for nothing. But that's just my opinion as a business owner, I guess.

Exactly. People rarely understand the "cost of doing business."
