Does anyone know what kind of profit tackle shops make off a bag of boilies. How much do they buy and then sell them for.
I doubt any shop truly knows how much profit they make off a bag of boilies, the maths involved is a lot more complicated and they just settle for profit made over a fixed period.
As a rough guide, shops are looking to double up, so if you look at a bag of boilies retailing for £10.00, they would have bought it for around £5.00.
Having said that, there are promotions on occasions, and bulk buying incentives; there may also be carriage charges unless they buy a certain amount.

I just don’t get your reasoning. Isn’t it as simple as a shop buys in a product for x amount and sells it for xx amount, regardless of whether it’s boilies or any other product.
You are forgetting 20% vat. In order to double up the retail price would be £12.

It does seem to me though that despite laws passed in the 1960s there is a lot of retail price maintenance in the tackle trade anyway; "Sell it any lower and you won't get any more." is the warning retailers get. Hence, a lot of retailers sell items at the RRP.
