Rebate I would guess that if the oems are selling zips for $99.00 (at least that's whats been quoted on this board )that the oems and Iomega are making money from these sales. Based on the price the oems are sporting we can come close to Iomega's cost of the product. You can add or subtract a percent or two here or there but I feel these are pretty close. The wholesale price to the oems should be about 10% less = $90.00 I'm guessing Iomega's cost around another 10% less = $81.00 Now the Rebate ! I know what wholesale ( for retail ) is at the moment without any special promotions $179.00. We are starting to see special promos comming in at the $165.00 range. Wholesalers work on around a 10 % margin putting their cost at $161.00 to $149.00 . Iomega sale to wholesalers $149.00 Rebate -$50.00 Iomega after rebate sale $99.00 With my approximate cost at $81.00 thats a 18% gross margin. Could it be that Iomega is giving a $50.00 rebate and still making an 18% margin not to mention the add on sales from the disks. ?? Dave
