its sad, but we all want cheap stuff and I used to get annoyed when I found out the retail industry typically buy something at 50% of what they are selling them for.
A 10 quid top, they buy for 5.
That 5 quid usually costs 2.50 to produce the top.
So it sounds mad to pay 7.50 on top right?
But having recently done a lot of work sourcing raw materials for a clothing line and the cost of prototyping, manufacturing, marketing etc chances are most of us are getting good value. on top of that the shop has to pay rent/rates/wages/utilities and to hold stock…
… I reckon you got a bargain and they were selling to clear space for new stock or new lines coming through. Either way well done.
