I've thought, but the comparison hasn't really hit the mark.
rental copies are more expensive for the rental service to purchase than
retail copies.
On the other hand, if a trader is selling at 3 quid, he is paying less than
a quid.
Put it this way: if I buy 1000 DVD's at 1 i'm only making 2000 - not
really worth getting out of bed for.
However, paying 1 and selling for 4 or 5, might make the deal worth
it...but it is unlikely a trader will use 1 buying price for every item he
sells anyway.
A mate of mine used to sell books, he'd pay absolutley no more than 25p a
unit, (I think 10p for mass market paperback) and he made quite a decent
living out of it. Unless he was into some other activities I knew nowt
about. He lives in a villa in a spain now.
