It was difficult to wade through all of what has been said, but there are different philosophies that store owners employ. They do on average getabout 40% mark up on High end speakers take from that the operating which is extremely variable depending on the size of the store their inventory debt etc. and they obviously don't have a lot of room to move. That said if you can manage to find a small operation that carries or can order them for you it's still a considerable chunk of change approx 5000 bucks I am sure that a quick $2000 profit would work, they can manage with that.
In response to the general retail question of course if your selling $20 shirts you only make $10. You can't pay the rent with $3. The store can either hope to keep volumes high enough and importantly customer loyalty so you keep going back to the guy who will give you the dscount or try and make a single killing on those who don't care.
