Re: Fun Manufacturer's Cost Questions...

I have the cost sheets of about 20 different manufacturers in front of me. In the parlance of the trade, speakers are usually 50 points= 50% of retail price=100% mark-up over cost. Yes, source components are usually 35-40points, and cables can be whatever ya work out. I've done installs for 6 years. I've spoken to numerous retailers, distributers, and manufacturers themselves; most of whom don't like to share their production costs.
How are YOU calculating mark-up?
Unsuccessful products? Tell that to Poh Hsu(Hsu Research), Mike Dzurko(ACI), and numerous relatively small guys who are using the Internet to their best advantage. The Internet is in its infancy, don't forget.
