<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PeacePeople, post: 870715, member: 20082&quot;]I don&#039;t want to rant, but I really wish some of you would get an education with regards to specialty retailing. It is not like a grocery store where many people stop in and buy things that they need to eat and live. It is specialty and not everyone that comes in buys the goods. If you actually believe you can make it in specialty retail by marking up your goods in whatever range some of you think is fair, you should take the risk, lay out your cash and see how fast you go under. Seriously, think about paying rent, electricity, heating/cooling, fixtures and set-up, goods/wares/merchandise, and if you become a bit of a success you might even get the pleasure of employees. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Please let me know how that 25% markup works out for you. Heck, maybe you can show me how to make it work by doubling your&nbsp; cost of merchandise.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Please stop with the whining about what shops mark things up.&nbsp; They are trying to make a living just like you, only in a different way.&nbsp; You have every right to walk out and not buy a thing, many people do just that in a curtious and polite manner.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
