Price mark up on speakers and headunits at Best Buy?

[pugely 10+ year member]

Got a friend who just got a job at Best Buy. Was wondering if anyone knew the average of how much Best Buy marks their speaker's and head unit's prices up? Any information about this would be greatly appreciated //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif. Friend hasn't started working yet so I can't ask him yet.

They mark them up by squirrel.

Just ask him when he's started working.

some of their crap has a 300% markup. dont buy anything from there unless your friend gives you the discount.

why support them at all discount or no discount.

I could see buying a HU there if you get a big discount, but you're not gonna get the discount till your friend starts working, so why not wait for him to tell you?

Because without Bestbuy, we would have more unemployment which would make our recession/depression worse. Circuitcity already hurt unemployment enough, why let another company do it.

typically HU's are 15-30pts markup

Speakers can be 50-300pts.. depending on brand and company terms... normally that is with freight and 20-60 days net

speakers and subs will have the highest markup, probably around 25-60%. Acc. will have a 1-250% markup (harnesses, dash kits, wire....)amps and head units will be marked up anywhere from 15-40%. there are exceptions to all these of course....

thats great that they give people jobs //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif they also kill the private shops, who are tying to make a living selling stuff they love, people who mostly do good proper install jobs, and mostly sell decent stuff. Id rather go to a locally ran shop than walking into a electronic supermarket and talking to some kid with acne trying to sell **** they know NOTHING about.

I run a business my self and this is just how I feel, plus I live in canada, and the recession aint close to what you guys are experiencing.

Not to hate on the small shops at all because i understand what you mean. But with all do respect, these small shops aren't helping the economy as much as the big shops do. Every small shop ive been in has had higher prices than any big store ive ever been in.
