[QUOTE="bigblank69, post: 8617362, member: 571469"] I would argue that your likely incorrect from a gross profit standpoint... Net profit maybe. Take the CAB 1600.1, Cost per amp before shipping is roughly $74 before shipping (per 300MOQ). If you figure it costs between $25-$30 per amp to ship via Sea Container (more you order less lost per unit which can be spread though out the container), someone like CAB could be into an amp for roughly $100-$105, figure $15 to ship to a customer via a business flat rate account, and you into the amp at roughly $115-120... Set aside maybe another 10% of your cost internally for warranty costs and your at $132... Sell it for $200 and your margin is 66%... Why do you think all the companies that sell catalog items are still around (Boss, Maxxsonics, Epsilon, Sound Around (Pyramid, Lanzar, Pyle) etc... While Original Equipment Designers have been forced to branch into other spaces to keep profitable... Not saying someone like CAB is "Rolling in Cash", their net profit margin is probably not enormous at all, and could be as low as 10% as they have to pay warehouse costs, employee costs, marketing costs, transaction fees etc...
