    Well, what is retail on a acdc premium? $7695
    OK, We all know what the average pinsider can buy one for.

    If that much gets whacked off the price, then how much is seller making?

    my guess is not enough.

    At full retail you have to assume a dealer margin of around 35% + or -.

    But then you have distributors selling to retail customers too.

    I have no idea what point I'm making.

    Business people just need to make money and a business with overhead needs to make around 20% to be profitable unless the overhead was insanely low or you are carrying no inventory.

    Is the retail price artificially too high?
