I am working on a contract with a small computersoftware manufacturer to resell their software to computer repair stores. The stores will be using the software to help repair customers computers and selling the software to their customers. I believe the marketup for most retail items is 50%. Currently the software manufacturer if offering me 50% off retail. This 50% off would be fine if I was not offering the product to be resold. How much more of a discount should I be offered to have money for my company? I have normally purchased from distrbitors not munufactures so I am not aware of what percentages are common in my case. Thank You for your time and efforts. Peter
