RE: Lamenting the cost of doing business, and who do you do business with? Happy #NeedleworkMonday!
The one local shop I consigned copies of my book at marked them up 100%! I'm not kidding. It's crazy expensive to get my paperback novel there. They haven't sold a single one, and no wonder. And I thought the $5 increase in price from Amazon just from me listing it as available to indie bookstores and libraries made it crazy expensive. Sigh!
100% is outrageous! I can't figure out that reasoning at all...why should they make as much money as the person who actually wrote the book?!
They are making more than me, actually.
I pay about $7.50 per copy to the printer, wholesale. I get $11 for a sale at the shop, so, I profit $3.50. The store profits $11.
That is, if anyone pays $22 plus tax for a novel!
That....I have no words. Wow!!!
