As you know, retail profit margin is not determined by how much you mark something up, but by what percentage of the total sale is profit.

@xsproutx
Between 8 and 15% depending on specific product demand at any given time.

@chumley
The unannounced visits by ATF to "audit" your logbooks are extra special.

@chumley
Unlike antique (pre 1898), and collectable historic pieces there is a very low profit margin in modern and new firearm sales. However, prices have doubled and sometimes tripled in recent years so a dealer doing high volume can bank some good money. Same with ammunition.

There is a 60-90% chance I can predict local weather more accurately by looking out of my windows.

@outdoor_lover
I hope you remain the same person you were prior to this fame and fortune...many can't handle it.

@outdoor_lover
You were in my back yard and didn't stop by to say hi?

@chumley
At least "modern" jeans have some stretch. Still a no-go for me. Old Levis were so heavy and thick, but on a positive note they could air dry in just 48-72 hours.

To be fair, I did all my Grand Canyon backpacking trips in the 70's in the same jean cut-offs...I just didn't allow photographic evidence to survive. :-)

Some say @Hansenaz used to get his 2" inseam shorts there. [ photo ]

It was more of a sirocco up here in Cave Creek.

@tibber
1.14" of much needed rainfall up here in Cave Creek accompanied by deafening lightning strikes that were uncomfortably close to the house.

Someone has a much different definition of "Big".

Wonderful guide and tribute Joe.

Gone but not forgotten.

Seen today (3/24) @ Encanto Golf Course in Phoenix. Who are you?

That's a great link. I've had a shortcut to it on my desktop for about 10 years.
