Wow - what a price!!! We work on the philosophy that "Pigs get fat and Hogs get slaughtered". We would much rather make a few percent for a quick turn on merchandise than be a hog and make nothing at all. We "sell" our merchandise and do not work on memorandum which enables us to operate on very small margins.
