Hi all,
This discussion is an old subject.
What's the questions ? :
* "Does a vendor could make a profit ?"
* "A lower price is most important than quality, services and support ?"
I think, we could stop the discussion here, because we have some responses :
* a vendor want make a profit, and MUST have a profit if he want to be a vendor in the future and continue to serve the customers;
* it's important for the customers that the vendor make enough profits to have a profitable activity and continue to produce, sold, etc., if the buyer want to have access to the product;
* it's important to pay the 'true' or 'real' price of something for the customer;
* some vendors sold something with the only idea to make a big benefit, some vendors add services and support to the customer.
In the present case, the same device could be ONLY sold or the device could be sold AND SOME SERVICES AND SUPPORT COULD BE OFFERED TO THE CUSTOMERS.
We have discussed about the price of ereader-store.de. In Europe (Germany) the costs are probably higher (taxes, VAT, charges, commercial rents, etc.) than in Vietnam.
But we know that the vendor "ereader-store" has a good quality of service, take a big part in the development of the Onyx's e-reader (see the work done for the M92) and make some efforts to improve the Onyx's e-reader.
Some people want only a lower price. Some people take care of the price, services and support : the price is higher.
We can only compare prices, services and supports. We can't have all data about the real cost for each vendor.
So, if all people are agree I propose to stop the discussions about the profit of each vendor, but it's always interesting to know the different prices proposed
