Infuriating to think that all these places can sell products with a 50% discount and still make money. The rest of the time how much are they raking in? But we are all scraping by and gotta do what we gotta do. Thanks for letting me vent.

    Keep in mind a lot of these products are likely priced to be on-sale, and are scarcely purchased at full price.

    This is especially true in stuff like Laptops, which are rarely purchased at full price anyway.

      So many businesses put a large laptop purchase out to bid with expectations of a certain discount % written into the bid language, which I’ve always thought was so stupid. The manufacturer sets the list price at whatever they want so you can get your sweet 70% off while they still make exactly the same amount of money
