Twenty Dollar Down

Why This Trade Is Interesting

Season off goods stay attractive for one reason. A proper goose down jacket can be put in front of a customer at around twenty dollars and still work as a deal for everyone standing in the chain, which is not a sentence you can write about newly produced stock.

The Catch

Low unit prices do not mean small deals. The quantities attached to them are large, and the totals get serious quickly. Nobody offers goods at that level for a hundred pieces, so the entry ticket is warehouse spac

e, cash and somewhere for it all to go afterwards.

What That Requires

Which is why the size of the building matters more than the size of the discount. If you cannot take the whole lot, the price you were quoted was never really for you.

The remarkable part is not the price per piece. It is how quickly the price per piece stops being the point.
