Well, let's see now...you're a small town retailer. That is, if there are any left that Wal-Mart hasn't killed off. You are quite happy selling widgets a a low 5% markup, at $1 each, That because the town folks are buying LOTS of widgets. Suddenly you discover that any future widgets you buy to replenish stock will cost YOU $1.30 each. You have a large stockpile in inventory, so of course you'll continue to sell your widgets for $1 each....right???
