I just keep dropping down a level with brands when it get too profitable. They do fine without me. Went from Strider to CRK to Buck… as the prices surged. I’m sure I’ll be somewhere else again at some point. At some point brands become art collecting and tulip trading, and usually that’s closing call for me.

There are a few, not many, BOTMs, and limited editions that I wish I would've gotten, but it's not really a big deal to me. I think Buck's production, and even CS prices are still a bargain compared to a lot of other makers. When it comes down to it though, I could get along just fine with one of my $30 112 Slim Selects.

Wholesale doesn't apply in this case since they're selling direct to consumer. They're the retailer when we buy from the website, so they get the full markup above cost to build/operate as profit. Buck probably makes something like twice as much profit from a website direct consumer

Of course. If it retails at $500 and Buck had sold it to a wholesaler, then they would have charged $250. Buck makes $50, assuming it cost about $200 to make. If Buck sells it themselves, they make $300. This is what I said in the previous post. I am using the retail price to estimate the wholesale price. This is to get an estimate of what Buck's cost to make it was - less than $250. I don't know what the actual cost was to make it, so I need an estimate.
