Quoted from PACMAN:

LE backglass still makes no sense. The art is covered by the monitor, or go with no monitor at all. Pretty lame.

the monitor is optional...buyers choice

Quoted from QuickSilverShelby:

Here's what I have a hard time understanding:
- Say there are 100 paid in full customers waiting for their game.
- 60 of them ask for their money back.
- So 60 x $6,500 = $390,000.
The new owners have to send $390,00 back and still they have to produce another 40 games at say $6,000 each so another $240,000.
That means the new owners would have to shell out at least $630,000 before they can even start to turn a single cent of profit.
They need to sort out the existing issues and spend hundred of thousands more for parts and labour to get new games done. Are these new owners willing to spend well over a million dollars to try and make this all happen?
I have a hard time understanding it but I hope they get it done.
QSS

Really it will cost $6000.00 to produce a game that sells for 6500. a 7.7% profit margin
And you KNOW that there are NO parts in inventory to build those games.
I think the new investors have a better Idea of the assests and liabilities to go forward.

Quoted from Procrastinator:

Does VAT come into play for any of the U.K. Customers? I know when I do business in the EU it's always a constant concern as 20% can totally turn a deal upside down. If the old prices were £4800 incl. 20%. VAT, then no wonder they ran out of money.

I don't understand VAT... what VALUE is being added?

#16088 6 years ago
Quoted from ronaldvg:

It is a tax added to the value of a product not value added to the tax
You could look at it like this (this is an example): trade businesses buy and sell products. For instance they buy for $100 and they sell for $120. So they add 20 dollar value to the product. Does not matter if they really add value or just put on profit. Over that 20 dollar VAT is charged and has to be payed by the buyer of the product. So essentially VAT is the tax over the added value (or price) of that product, hence Value Added Tax.

So no REAL value added, just cost is added.
