OK, Frank I'll bite, nobody in the diving retail business is getting 100% mark-up on their hard goods. If we get 40 to 30% we are lucky(equipment cost more because the manufacturers are charging more).
But if I was getting 100% here is what I would send it on: The buildings payment, the water bill, the gas bill, the electic bill, Pac. Bell's bill, GTE Bill, filters for the compressor, NAUI Dues, PADI Dues, insurance, O2, Heluim, oil, Property tax, lux tax, SSI tax, corporation tax, federal income tax, gasoline taxes, City tax, Builting alarm tax, health department tax, etc. etc. etc.
Enough whining, we had a great year, Merry Christmas Frank!
