| 1406915 | 2015-08-18 23:52:00 | I'd like to hear some local retailers defend their very high margins on shoes and car parts etc. I can, and have bought shoes in NZ for $20 (the warehouse) , so bugger all margins on those I also buy $150 shoes, they are from shoe stores : they have to pay wages ,2-3 staff for 7 days, 8 hours a day + rent + other expenses. thats alots of money to try & recoup from a few shoe sales That same shoe shop also sells $50 shoes (at lower margins), so the $150 shoe is a luxury item with very few sales, so of course it will have a much higher margin. Just what margin is acceptable, are they not allowed to cover costs, make a profit & make the business worthwhile ? |

No, we need double that because we have new forms and they are to be filled in in both English and Maori. Under the “Treaty” you know. ;) |

They also have to buy the shoes, pay rent and pay staff! |

| 1406919 | 2015-08-19 01:34:00 | So GST is already charged on iTunes giftcards. Double-dipping come purchase time? | Renegade (16270) | ||
| 1406920 | 2015-08-19 01:35:00 | is this a trick question? think about it the US market is 300M people the NZ market is 4M people NZ is at the ass end of the world and because we all know that no shops in the US sell expensive shoes with high profits . There are no $1000 shoes or handbags in the US shops:-) Again, I can buy shoes in NZ for $20 , or $200 |
