As an owner of a business understanding profit/loss as well as your
niche market is important. A resell store is unlike any other retail set-up when it comes to depreciating goods like clothes. You negotiate! There's market information you base your products on but understand that changes from state to state, country to country making sure you have the most competitive prices out there.
