Re: 1600 electrics

Say they buy an item for $250, it would be priced to the average joe at $499 or something similar.......   The computing industry certainly isn't like that- most retailers are lucky to make 5-10%... in fact I talk to some box-movers who make a paltry $50 on each machine they move out the doors....  The difference must be that the audio business is a closed market eg the Clarions and Alpines etc only supply stuff to licensed dealers whereas anybody will sell you a PC wholesale.....thats my guess anyway ;o)   -Tom ----- Original Message ----- From: Julian To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, September 11, 2000 9:22 PM Subject: Re: 1600 electrics So you mean they buy speakers for $70 and sell them to us for $210? or $140? Most industries have a 100% markup but 200% is a bit harsh.. - Julian Tom Richardson wrote: All fixed. They told me it was an earthing problem but I think thats prolly crap! Interesting side note:  the company I work for runs the computers and accounting software at one car audio place and I was having a poke around in it the other day, it's not uncommon to find markups on the order of 2x cost on car audio gear eg speakers amps etc.. sounds like I'm in the wrong game ;) Bout the inlet trumpets, found some aluminium ones for $30 each on Magill rd, sounds like the easy way to go since I dont have any tools (or any skills) to make my own up. Any recommendations for an adelaide workshop to get my SU's re-retuned like Terry suggested? Thanks - Tom --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
