I'm bored. So. Haha. I got a 450 dollar Ralph Lauren cashmere topcoat tonight for ing 150 bucks! I love this thing. Funny the day I get it the high temp is 60 degrees. Oh well. It'll get cold again. Here's what it looks like:

you know the retailer prolly paid 110$ dollars for that jacket? he aint gonna make that crazy of a deal if he aint making some moeny off of it. so the original mark up was HUGE and he put it on sale the next week, to draw ppl like u in to buy it. make em think theyre saving soo much cash. but still they making there 20% mark up retail price.
this is how the retail business works. ive been in it |

| i went to express one time, because i had money, and i decided to by a suit. so i bought a 140$ sport coat, 100$ pants, 60$ shirt, 5$ dollar tie was on sale. i never wear the whole thing together unless i have some formal thing to go to. but the pants, with my stripped express shirt, tucked in, two top buttons open, 12$ versace belt buckle shining away, and the San Martin's on me feet. Looks pIMped out:eyespop: |

no u cant. retail in clothing is way different then retail for electronics and other things.
theres a reason why halo2 is basically the same price in toys r us and futureshop and best buy.
clothing is way different.
every market is wayyyyyyyyyyy different.
and im only using electronics as an example.
i could write an essay on how the food market works and how the pharmecutical market works as well.
things are more complicated then they seem. ur just a consumer baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa |
