Why is it places like Bestbuy and walmart sell headphones and things in general so expensive when they are sold by other electronics stores for nearly half that price.
take the Hd 515 for example, its like $115 at walmart and only 85$ through some amazon stores.
My questions are the following:
-Do these businesses buy direct from sennheiser? If so, do they need to be an authorized dealer or reseller and some of the profit goes back to sennheiser? Or is it they they buy in bulk at much lower prices than direct from sennheisers store and are allowed to sell at w/e price they want?
-Is it costly to become a retailer like that? I'd like to set my own electronics shop up but I dont really know much about how some stores like J&R sell their headphones for nearly half what Sennheiser sells them at through their official store.
