That is another issue that showed me and many other retailers that it was time to get out of the MR Business, the dwindling difference between the wholesale cost and the retail price.
As the percentage shrinks the chances of making money all but disappears for any Brick and Mortor stores.
As I stated earlier a B&M store pretty much has to make a 100% mark up on each item to survive. Given that some of MRs items only had a 40-50% mark up and that the same items were selling on ebay for a little more then wholesale cost any B&M store would have to have been crazy to buy these for re-sale.

Question for Boba Debt:
Did Marz Dist. closing down suddenly, hose you on any items?
No, I got out a long time ago and was just recently able to get out of the hole I dug myself into.
