Is the main reason audio equipment depreciates so much is


1.Because technology is always changing and people always want the latest and greatest.
2.It is expensive to repair when it breaks.
3.It has always depreciated a lot since the inception and that is just the pattern it has always stayed in.
4.It is overpriced to begin with.

The Item cost with parts and labor included was 7.00. The retail price was 69.95. So like you said about a 10 times markup from what it cost to it’s retail price.

How about the manufacture’s overhead costs?

Profit mark up?

Distribution costs?

Profit Market? Shoot for maybe 10% If lucky 5%.

Why do you think B&M dealers are going out of business every day?
