What are the mark-up's on most computer components?

[Magusigne]

I was just wondering if I get any STEALS on any type of component.

Such as Processor Like a QXxxx or a nice 790i w/ Two 260's etc.

Anyone have any first hand experience or should I expect like 10 dollars off a 300 dollar proc?

It's hard to generalize, but data through 2007 indicates an average margin of 5 to 7%. It is a very thin profit margin, and that is why so many small computers shops don't last. There is more profit in repairs.

With the economy currently under stress, it may result in even thinner margins as desparate OEMs struggle to survive.

Thank you corky.

Not the info I wanted to hear...I was hoping I could get a decent bit off mobo/hd's/procs

well cables are at least cheap!

In addition Cost is Not uniform either.

Some Vendors cost can be the same as discount retailers consumers prices.
