Speculation on "Sale" of GW

[jimbobabob]

at time whne their main markets are struggling economicly, they've managed to keep sales at a flat right while selling for an inflated profit even with increased competition, ( just look at all the different companies models club memebers buy that have only been around a few years). As someone who works in retail I can tell you that companies are cutting prices and profits in attempts to generate slight increases in sales.

Games workshop used to and probably still does charge any supplier either one of their shops or an independant half recommended price for stock. The mark up goes to pay for the running of the shop mainly, so independant sellers cutting their prices don't affect games workshops turnover that much becuase they've made their set profit amount in the inital purchase. so by shifting most of the advertising and handling costs onto other smaller companies they're making the same inflated profit for less costs.

Also certain expensive fine cast models seem to be available from games workshop only I've noticed recently trying to build my daemon army.
