Honestly, just in general terms and nothing specific, what is the mark up on Stihl saws? I've read a few of you on here are dealers and would obviously know.
My family used to be in retail, Sears Catalog Merchant, back in the 80s and early 90s before Sears closed down the catalog division. I know that the margin in retail is not great for the independent owner. Sears' at that time was 10 1/2%. All costs and overhead was paid by my parents. Most of the time the price was the price stated but occasionally we would knock money off for certain customers. Mostly on the appliances.
