[QUOTE="GMforPowergamers, post: 8884416, member: 67338"] I agree, it would be abnormal (Like college class theoretical not real) to make it based on profit because that is manipulatable (I don't want to go into detail but I CAN) but normally there is some consideration of the profit... if someone has a profit margin of 7-10% you don't want to give them a license for 25%. I have seen people buy RPG books whole sale (and ran those books) the best case the store gets a 55% discount on cover price and the worst I have heard of was a 18% off cover and that store owner would not carry that product. FYI Board games and minis are all between 40 and 50% less then SRP too... I bring this up becuase Piazo isn't selling your FLGS pathfinder 2e for 59.99.... they are selling it for $27-$30 most likely, I don't know the overhead for piazo, I don't know the cost of shipping, and I don't know the general overhead... but I am betting that $27 is NOT half profit... I would not be suprised to find out it's close to thee 7% range... so $2,maybe $3. I bet that amazon gets a better deal so buying it through that gets Piazo less... If they have to pay 20% over $750k and someone figure that is about5-6% at or around 1 mil so allbooks at whole sale have to go up to cover that... and that would not be great. [/QUOTE]
