$6.00 for freakin piece of cardboard with some glitter?    Their profit margin has to be astronomical.

I'm cooking up some heart shaped pork chops tonight.

Because nothing says "I Love You" as well as nice piece of meat.

AM has gross margin of 53%, operating margin of 13%, profit margin of 7.5%. I'm guessing a lot of the cost is from advertissing and marketing? Hallmark has a more recognizeable name too.

How much do they sell though? Anytime I pass they are lucky if there are 2 people in the store. Weddings and anniversaries are big business for them.

I did not mention the $10 Christmas Tree Ornaments that are made in China with a cost basis of .75.   Brick and Mortar overhead, but still the margins have to be good.
