Polish term or phrase: przebitka
Jakiś czas temu dwóch naukowców, Rob Walker i Joshua Glenn, postanowili przeprowadzić pewien eksperyment. Do tego eksperymentu pozyskali 200 różnego rodzaju przedmiotów. pozyskali, bo za niektóre z nich zapłacili, a inne dostali za darmo, bo były to przedmioty o niskiej wartości. Można powiedzieć, że za całość zapłacili 250 dolarów, bo rzecz działa się w Ameryce, czyli 200 przedmiotów za 250 dolarów. Średnio 1,25 dolara za przedmiot.
Wśród tych przedmiotów były różne egzotyczne rzeczy jak figurka pięknego różowego rumaka albo nawet maska higieniczna, szpitalna do kontaktu z pacjentami SARS, ale nie używana. No i potem te wszystkie przedmioty sprzedali na aukcjach w internecie i za całość uzyskali 8000 dolarów. 250 versus 8000 dolarów.

No ja myślę, że na dźwięk takiej przebitki i takiej marży wiele osób może się uśmiechnąć.

markup


Explanation:
"Even the cheapest Gold Mario Amiibos on eBay are going for $45, a nearly 250 percent markup"

"Amazon might sound easier, but the markup on products like notebooks can be more than 300%."

"Sony’s slight advantage in eBay markups was consistent across the distribution of eBay prices paid, both in dollar and percentage terms. The maximum auction price paid for both systems was $600 above the retail price, amounting to a 250 percent markup for the PS4 and a 210 percent markup for the Xbox One."
