In Reply to: I saw a $44 Sony DVD player at Best Buy yesterday... posted by Russell on March 6, 2009 at 10:16:43:
I paid $900 for my first DVD player, a Sony DVP300 or something. It was one of the first, yes... But how does ANYBODY make money on a product with that much involved that sells for $40?
-Manufacturing costs including packaging (!)
-Shipping costs
-Distribution
-Advertising
-Store and salesman cut
HUH? I'm sure they're hoping the same guy buys a $1000 LCD, but still...
