...Talking about what a great deal you got on the aforementioned item is worse. If you must, tell your mom, because she has sale empathy and will take your victory as her own. It's sick.Originally Posted by Scott Sternberg
I think it is reasonable to say that some mark ups are arbitrary. There is no question that a lot of boutique brands run tight margins, but that is not to so that in the aggregate the consumer pays a heck of a lot for the name on the tag and not for the quality or actual craftsmanship. Especially, when you get to the upper tier since I can go to CEGO and have a shirt made to measure or I can buy BOO or any of these other fashion brands off the rack at a higher price tag so yea I'd say some of the mark ups are marketing related and arbitrary.
By the way to clarify, I am talking about the manfacturer and not the retailer.
