After material costs, time, shipping, advertising, & customer support, how much margin do you think there is to make on a part that already sells at £5-15 (ESP in an environment where spending £15-30 to get a new one is an accepted norm already)?
This is def not viable from my view- at least not for parts that are this cheap already.
- NeedMoreTea 7y agolol. 99% of it is margin - it's 50% of the whole retail item cost for <1% of the material or complexity. That's most of it left for promotion. Domestic appliances, large and small, regularly have small spare parts that attract 25 or 50% of the price of the entire item. Never used to. That they're already doing well with small appliances in the niche of non-available parts says enough about pricing floor.
