Why do you think the price would only go up by 10-20%? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 point 2 years ago* When I posted, I was under the impression tariffs were ~35%. Retail tends to be around 50% markup over BOM, so that should mean only a 10-20% price increase to keep the same profit per unit, depending on how much of it is sourced from China. With 100% tariffs, that's more like a 50% markup, not 3x. permalink fedilink source parent
