Profit margin

Quick question,

I was just wondering what kinda profit websites and sellers on ebay are making on each bike?

I know it depends on the bike and how much they're selling them for, but what kinda profit is typically made on each sale?

Thanks in advance

If you think for one minute that importers are now making the same profits as they did before Legislation and some stupid importers destroyed the market your kidding yourself!! Take a good look around amigo, CAGS mid to late last year retailed for $800 now $399 if your lucky!!! Ebay ensured the failure of any MONEY MAKING on these babies, and i could mention some importers who in their narrow minded eagerness to make a fast buck also stuffed the market, so what do you end up with POOR SERVICE, POOR QUALITY why??? Now to compete in this ridiculous market everyone's squeezing the manufacturers even harder to ensure they can make what 20% if their lucky.
Think Again my friend there's no millions to be made in this industry, we do it because we love it, not because we're expecting to get rich!!!!

i beleive that the profit made on each Bike is quite BIG.....But as Fasty said container load Each Bike you Buy from company who is seeking Australian Distributors you get it CHEAPER cause you are Buying more i cant even begin to think how many bikes you would have in a $30,000 container load (- shipping unless FREE) THE MORE BIKE YOU BUY (for a good Price) the Money Money your gonna make, you dont become a Distributor unless you know what your doing or you have done alot of Research on Marketing
