I don't want to pay for your climbing trip

In my experience, most "pro deals" are at wholesale or even 5-10% above. Deals below wholesale are for the truly deserving - sponsored athletes (i.e., they have a contract with the manufacturer) or sponsored organizations (ditto).

 

 

i get 20% off wholesale at all times from patagonia, 10% off wholesale from BD, twice a year BD runs a shop employee special at 20-30% off wholesale, i've even seen companies do %40 off wholesale for limited times.

 

i am not truly deserving, just work in a ski shop.

 

For purposes of your post, what is wholesale compared to retail? 50%?

[christophbenells]

depends, but for most products retail mark-up is %50.

 

some higher end products get retail mark-ups in %30 range.
