First of all, at Walmart, you pay $150, and $150 is the retail! muahahaha!
At BD, you pay $297, but the retail is much higher than what you pay. The value of an Hour/Kilo TT far surpasses the value of a $150 dollar bike hence the higher cost.....I think.
HUGE differnece.
You forget the economies of scale that Walmart has. BD makes maybe $100 or 150 on the $300 bike. Walmart might make $50 on this bike. Plus they get amazing price breaks from the manufacturer and parts suppliers. Whereas BD might pay $25 for a particular part from a supplier when they buy 500 units, Walmart can demand a price of $15 for the same part when they buy 5,000 units.
That is the HUGE difference.
