Not sure who's list you've seen - we do have a sister company that sells to wholesale and trade. Whom we purchase from.

If it is one of our lists - please remember retailers have to put on VAT and delivery; then profit and VAT again to sell. Retailers also need to factor potenital loses, building/staff overheads and keeping/feeding costs within their profit margins.

What's your EPM number? I'll chase it - I know we've answered this question a few times. Not sure if it's you though.

i really like your site, but I cant get my head around the huge number of wc, even for common pet species, such as Chile Rose. Also, stock seems to be a bit of an issue...would happily give you guys a go, and order a couple of Fat Tailed Geckos, but cant remember when I last saw them in stock

I'm sure you'll have a lot of interest, also good luck with only making around 70p per gecko and still paying all the costs relating to a pet shop.

I'm shocked actually that a 100% mark up is a surprise. Most shops make barely anything from actual equipment, it mostly comes from livefood, sometimes as much as 300-400% of what they get it for, but you have to take into account import costs(ouch), packaging, VAT etc, then when you have them on the property, feeding, electric etc, you might have to pay for its upkeep for months until it's sold.
