More popular or fast selling the item the lower the mark up/margin/profit

So Tags have quite a high mark up as do all the "designer" type watches like Armani, Gucci etc

Anything decent such as Breitling , Rolex, Cartier will have a small mark up, why not buy a decent watch from Terminal 3 you get VAT free and maybe a little more.

Breitling have quite a mark up hence the 20+ % discounts that are easy to come by

You are spending the best part of £1k on a wrist watch and faffing about like Del Boy and Rodders to get it!

If you can afford a £1k watch then your time is worth more than you are putting in to save an extra few £££ here are there.....just buy the thing and get on with some work!
Except that i enjoy it.

If the markup was normally 40% and they got 20% they would probably still be happy,

average price £3000ish? but easy to order in new stock when they sell it, other makes and models with limited supply lines may (and will be) different

On another note Porsche cut production of the Cayenne by 8% because it wasn't selling, rather than produce too many and have to discount, thus lowering the prestige of the brand.
