Is this profit maximisation by Argos ( as per the Tesco Ireland model) or is their cost base so high that they need the extra margin to trade profitably.I'll leave you think about that one for a while.. Bertie,
Perhaps you are in a position tht getting the best value for you budget doesn’t matter.

If a family doesn’t have the income, then finding the best value for money is not a choice but a necessity.

The point that you clearly completely missed was that Argos seem able to sell their product 100km away at a significant discount to the price in the ROI.
Is this profit maximisation by Argos ( as per the Tesco Ireland model) or is their cost base so high that they need the extra margin to trade profitably.

I’ll leave you think about that one for a while..
