That would be about as pointless as going to stormfront or the black power forum and trying to tell them racism is wrong. Or it'd be like going to the Flat Earth Society and trying to convince them that the earth is in fact round.
Retailers buy from manufacturers and distributors at wholesale prices. In other words, they get massive discounts for bulk buys. Their profit margins should be generous, if they aren't then they need to re-evaluate what they are doing in this business and crunch some more numbers. There is an enormous difference between 5k yen and 9k yen. If you're missing target profits by a margin of 4k then something is wrong somewhere.
I won't name any names(unless you want me to PM you) but I have seen this a lot.
No see, this is what we call a "bargain" or a "discount" in the retail business. This is how business' of all sorts compete with one another. I can't believe you just tried to use that as an argument lol. You're really grasping at straws.
But you seems so eager to tell ppl they are ripping ppl off with their high price. Why not their facebook. You might help someone.
Discount will be different, depends on how many that you buy. Do you think buying 1 case will get the same discount as buying 1 container?
Hell, take HLJ. If you become their wholesales customer.
Sometimes they gave you a smaller discount than their retail discount.
The discount is that small if you're buying small quantities.
It happened so many times. With retail they give us 5% discount. But for my friend that already become their wholesale customer for 15 years, they only give him 3%. He need to buy 1 case(usually 12-24pcs) to get 7% discount.
But we don't called them cheap, lying and dishonest retailer. Its just business, we just says they're expensive and find some other supplier.

BTW, are you going to argue and trashing other store like this every time there's a store that sells cheaper than kolektakon?
