But the author gives example of reselling iPods. I'm not aware of discounted wholesale pricing on iPods, so how would you make a profit without ripping people off (i.e. selling over Apple's price)?
- 1123581321 14y agoThere is wholesale pricing on Apple devices. How else could a store make money on them? Stores don't buy stock directly from Apple; they buy through an authorized distributor. P.S. In case it wasn't clear to you, Apple devices cost the same from anywhere. That makes them a good example here. Here's $329 for a mini at Apple.com: http://store.apple.com/us/buy/home/shop_ipad/family/ipad_mini http://store.apple.com/us/buy/home/shop_ipad/family/ipad_min... And here's the same price at Walmart.com: http://store.apple.com/us/buy/home/shop_ipad/family/ipad_mini http://store.apple.com/us/buy/home/shop_ipad/family/ipad_min... Walmart makes a profit because they bought the mini at a wholesale price from an Apple distributor.
