Wow, Pop Ups are now a rip off!
We're looking for a new home and the 29' trailer just has no spot. Thought about getting a more friendly sized Pop Up as we once had. No, I will not store my campers as theft, vandalism, and cramm...

Apparently people wouldn't know a good deal if it slapped them in the face. In your example, if true cost was $100.00 and the item had a 150% markup, retail price would be $250.00. Offer a 75% discount, sale price would be $62.50, which is $37.50 BELOW cost. Not a bad deal. It really does pay to have stayed awake during math class.
Not sure I understand who you are directing your reply to ... :h
The logic is different if the $100 in your example included the 150% markup, IOW one would have to back out the true cost using elementary algebra ... :W
Nope, the logic (or math) is not different. If 100 included the 150% markup then the wholesale cost would be 40. 75% off of 100 is 25, so yes that would be great deal.
