I've been invited to apply for a market stall at #EMFcamp. There's a number of interesting things I think I could sell there.
But they all involve me buying at wholesale price and selling retail price. Like, I get that's the way commerce works, but it also feels kind of… I don't know how to explain. Rude?
If I buy 100 things at £10ea, assume I only sell 75% of them, plus VAT, plus credit card charges, then I have to sell for £16.50ea.
That doesn't account for my time or dealing with returns.
