What do you think Apple's or Intel's gross margins are?

In the construction world your lucky to see 10%. 35% is a fucking joke in any business. I'm finding work all over the place and paying bills, while lot's of others are drawing off of my taxes. Maybe running a buisness like a jackass has it's perks after all.... In this economy people are lucky to even have customers. Cheap transfers = people looking around in your shop for 1/2 hour or so. If you want to be OUT of business quick, try making 35% margin on all your sales. Nobody will be in your shop. Grandpa is a Jackass for his actions, arguing the point any further would make me a Jackass.

Peace Out.
