40% is more like it - maybe less. It takes time and $ to sell stuff individually, and I am not sure these dealers are getting wealthy.
Hey Bob, good point, I may have forgotten about demographics. I see you are on the west coast. I have noticed that prices and a significant difference from where I am in northern NY state and the Midwest where my daughter and brother live, Indiana and Illinios. Something that would normally sell for $20 in the north country may sell for $30 or $35 maybe more in the Midwest and probably more on the west coast.
My friend that deals with trains usually offers 50% and sometimes more and he still makes money selling.
