@tomic601 +1 I used to get into this "rich people" generalization arguments but it's a waste of time. The cool thing is we can ALL enjoy music - quality and quantity-wise so much better these days, regardless of our budget. It's affordable and available in so many ways! |
Selling a High Item Turnover of Million items for $1M, at 20% Mark Up gives a return of $200K, as the pre overhead profit. Selling a low turnover item at a pre sale cost of $200K for $1M. Both the above sales do occur, I'm sure for those that can afford the initial outlay, the latter is the most attractive sale to achieve. I once had a very good communication with a friend who sold Architectural Items. The Service offered was most commonly a word of mouth recommendation. There was a period when Ornate carved Marble Fire Surrounds were on offer, these were replica's of a Pattern used by a famous Stone Carver from a few hundred years past. Quite similar as a product to the Cast Iron Items that were commonly seen, which were all cast to the Patterns of the most prominent Victorian Foundries. I was informed of the door to door price for each surround, of which it was quite a cost to be produced and imported. I inquired the ballpark resale price, to which I was informed the Buyer who arrives to view in a Helicopter will be paying the most. The resale price was genuinely what was seen to be fitting as the charge to the Customer. I know one went to a Large Estate House being renovated, for over a £100K a surround and there was more than one purchase made. The psychology is that the Customer / Vendor in purchases with a small mark up and cost price will most likely never meet, and the purchase is one that can be determined as being very very fair. The higher the price ticket usually means the Customer / Vendor will meet, and the Vendor is able to decide just how unfair the sale is going to be for the Customer. |
The Tourette touch was more mine ...😊 none of my aspergers friends or autists were Tourette .. By the way we all of us must read astonishing description of Tourette in Oliver Sacks masterpiece : "the man who mistook his wife for a hat "... One of the great life changing book we can read ...All his others books are on par almost... Try to read it my friend if you dont know it already .... The chapter on the Reagan Election at the TV commented by two different groups of people with heavy neurological problem but reverse problem for each group is amazing,... One of the best book i ever read and i read a lot ... That was my job... I will add Alexander Luria book about Vienamin a Russian dude with a memory WITHOUT limits. Luria i read it when i was 20 years old. He was the master of Sacks... The book of Luria surpass any S.F novel and his an accurate description day to day of the life of someone who CANNOT forget anything at all and without any limit about what is memorized. Luria tested him for many decades and study him as a case in neurology... Sacks had read him young and inspired embarked in his own amazing journey in clinical neurology case description ... 😁
