Re: No Margin

Yet in the USA companies like Adorama sell lots and lots of Apple kit well below the MSRP.

They have been in business for years and seem to make a profit all right.

We are forced to pay full retail prices for Apple here in the UK. I don't see any discounter offering more than a few quid off the retail price.

As for Solutions Inc they did a repair to my 2012 MacBook and like the example they wanted to add a hefty labour charge on top of the price. When they didn't repair it after three weeks, I took the laptop back and took it to an Apple Store. They did the repair in four days and no hefty labour charge.

As a result it is no surprise that Solutions Inc have gone bust. Sad for the employees but... sometimes life sucks a lot.
