How much do shops pay for CPUs?

[Draethe84]

Just wondering, would anyone know how much a storefront would pay for a say 6800k? It's interesting to find out how much profit these shops actually get.

i've asked the shop i buy my stuff from a while back, in an example they made about a €10 profit on the GTX970 they sold to me.

They will gain a large chunk, you have to remember a shop has costs for just being open, running a shop is not as simple and easy as 24/7 cash flow.. as you think.

 

 

Shops get everything cheaper than we do.

 

In some cases they will sell something at a loss if it's clearance items or something is "B grade"

that chunk is smaller than you may think.

 

often the shops that get the most margin "under" the sticker price of an item are the ones that also have the most financial risk in that regard, because they buy HUGE quantities, because they ship internationally, or because the public wont even directly buy from them, relying on other companies to get the stuff sold.

How does stores work?

 

Market influence in the area, how high of a % of moved goods in an area is your store responsible for?

 

How much competition is there higher up between the suppliers? I.e, you can probably demand better prices from Intel now, than you could in 2012 for example. Due to how competitive Ryzen is, compared to how noncompetitive Bulldozer was.

 

In essence, if your supplier will make more money by having their products in your store. You can demand better prices. But if your supplier will sell their product, regardless of their product is on display on your store. You will barely be able to cover the expense.
