I’m going to guess here… and it’s only a guess… that it’s actually YYE that concocted that deal. And if I’m right, it’s no discredit to OD at all, but the praise would be redirected more towards Andre. The vendors provide the throws at a particular cost and suggest a price (the MSRP). Sometimes there are clauses in the vendor contract that prevent the retail price from going too low so that multiple retailers aren’t undercutting each other and devaluing the product… but for the most part, retailers can then set their own prices and incentives.
That’s just my experience in retail in general. But I don’t know the first thing about how yoyo retail in particular works.
I think you’re right about this, Greg. But you also reminded me why I stayed out of the business world. Yeeeee. I’ll stay hidden away in my classroom thank you very much.
