I've noticed a similar 'this profit margin seems almost vulgar' on the same store shelf.
As you showed with slightly longer zippers.. I notice with car fob remote batteries. An 8 pack is $12 at the store. The same brand, a single will be $5. A 2pack is $7. And the 8pack $12.
Do you really need to make $4 on selling me a single? I know shelf space is valuable, but the same store sells things for $1 too on another shelf so apparently <$1 profit shelf space is possible.
- mook 1y agoGiven how small the batteries are, they probably have similar costs for shipping and handling. So there's a cost to get _anything_ to the local store, plus the cost of the actual goods.
