Any business running on that margin will not be in business for long, commercial overhead is costly, the sales you see this time of year are typical for business looking to unload excess inventory from Christmas, anyone that has ever worked retail will tell you Jan and Feb are usually pretty lean months. That being said it is nice to score a deal or two for those who have any money left after Cashmas.
