Sims - R24

[saffakanera]

Could this be? Someone told me today that EA South Africa receive games like Sims, for example, for something like R24, selling it then to retailers for something like R130, allowing them to only THEN add their share.

I dont even WANT to know what Megarom does to the price then. But R24? Arent suppliers supposed to pocket LESS per item than retailers? Because they buy in such high quantity?

Educate me.
