In talking about pricing during class, I began to think back to all the stores I worked for. I thought, we pay so much for shoes, hats, shirts, accessories, etc. But do we really know how much these products costs for the retail store? When I worked for Finishline, I learned a lot about how much we make for certain products. A can of waterproofer sells for $5.00 in the store, however, each can costs .25 (cents). The boxes come in sets of 20 ($4.00/$100.00). Also the shoes we buy, usually sell for $80-130. Even with our employee discount (30%), the companies are still making $30-50 a shoe. I really feel that with the abundance of products and people wanting to purchase these products that our society could learn to drop prices on things and still make a profit and be happy.
Do you feel things are too overpriced?
