I find stores like poundland excellent, because you really get the sense
of how much margins some companies and their channels are used to.

It is sometimes hard to accept, because we have being conditioned to think
of price=value. But the price of goods, is largely not connected to the
cost of production, but how much the consumer is willing to spend.



So, if Dixon's buys a CR 2032 button cell for 10p, how much should they mark
it up then?

30%? 50%? 100%?

If they mark it up 200% they'll incur a loss every time they make a sale.
