Manufacturer Selling Prices - ?

[oldwheels]

I had three business interests and the main one was manufacturing. I pitched our wholesale price to enable a retailer to double their purchase price which most did.
One retailer who sold a lot of our stuff on Loch Lomondside actually trebled his purchase price.
When fixing the price obviously we had to make a profit but really it was what we thought the market would bear over the manufacturing cost.

One of my recent experiences was buying an item from a trader that was £9 cheaper than the manufacturer was charging and that included shipping.

I've always suspected Halfords.

Halfords couldn't launder a tea towel.

Never mind, it'll all come out in the wash - !

There's also sophisticated games to get the maximum price from 'lazy' customers while offering a discount to the price sensitive.

Two examples from yesterday

I was offered buildings insurance renewal for £220. Got some other quotes and phoned the company back. They knocked £40 off. Same product, same company, two prices.

Popped into Tesco for a few things. £20 or I could go home, get my club card and pay £18.50. Same product, same company, two prices.
