    I was curious because I'm a curious person. But I see that they already increased their prices (manufactured in China) https://web.archive.org/web/20250117170222/https://www.traeger.com/pellet-grills/woodridge vs. https://www.traeger.com/pellet-grills/woodridge Timberline also up, $500 on...

    Or how deep down the train does the tariff goes. Are we taxing a Dolce and Gabana bag that's "Made in Italy" on the back of dirt cheap chinese labor? THat being said there's a lot of places in the world that have a lot of money and would happily do trade with China.

    I'm sure you have and I personally probably know many more people who run restaurants, retail operations, and grocery stores than you do. You're seeing the results of the operations, not the input.

    I literally told you how 90% of businesses do it. Sure fi you have the massive resources of amazon, etc. you probably have much more accurate measures on what storage costs, etc. are.

    Every business has some form of COG%. If you're keystoning it's 50%. If you'er a restaurant it's 30%. If you're a grocery store it's usually 65% If you increase the input cost by 10% the output cost also increases. If I'm buying something for 3 dollars and it becomes 3.30 if I'm keystoning it...

    Yes it is how it works. Ok let's throw out a scenario, if I buy something for 4 dollars and sell it for 6, it's great for in and out. It's why drop shippers sell stuff for cheap. If your goal is to make $2 per order then that's one thing. But if I'm selling it in a physical location or I have...

    If it costs me 10% more to buy something it will likely be sold at 10% more. If I go for standard Keystone pricing, my $4 dollar shirt I keystone for 8 dollars goes up to 4.40, the keystone price 8.80 still an increase of 10%. So my options with a 10% price increase is to pass it off to the...

    10 dollars for a 50/50 poly blend shirt kind of sucks. FOr example, I can buy a 12 pack of Gildan shirts for half the price https://www.amazon.com/Gildan-DryBlend-Adult-T-Shirt-2-Pack/dp/B0C4Z6Y5T1/ For similar price I can get 100% cotton shirts for less that are that same ugly look as those.

    One thing reddit has taught me the last week or 2 is 1. People have unrealistic expectations for costs in videogames 2. People really like to complain. Now some complaints I find legit like Nintendo charging 10 bucks for a tech demo is stupid. But people complaining about game pricing and...
