Someone please explain the economics of mattress stores

[MikelArteta]

mattresses and box springs are expensive and no one minus courtdog wants a horrible mattress

 

[El Bombi]

Expound?

Everyone home I've ever been in has a mattress in it, so the economics of it isn't a mystery to me. Now how Arby's is staying open needs to be investigated.

LOL Someone should make a thread that list all the stores that been open for years, but we don't see too many customers in the stores.

Out of all the types of businesses he could have opened, why did he choose a mattress store?

That's the million dollar question. Real talk, I'm going to really ask him the next time I see him. All I know is that he raided his and his wife's 401k and squandered their retirement money. Did I mention that he has a daughter in college and another one that is about to start in a couple of years. Man that was the stupidest thing I've ever seen. We all tried to warn him but he still went ahead and did it. Admittedly I tried to be respectful in my warnings because I didn't want to say how much of a fukking idiot he was and how he's jeopardizing his family's future.

I used to sell mattresses. Yeah it looks dead and a lot of times it is, but one sale can easily make you 500 bucks. The most money I've made in one day was 3 gs and I only had 4 customers...one of them was a 16,000 dollar sale that paid me 2 gs.

 

[GetInTheTruck]

Yeah, pretty much; I usually just chill at my desk and lurk the-coli. Some days no one comes in nor calls

Damn breh I remember those days. Do you get a salary? I didn't, it was straight commission. The most I made in one year in the mattress racket was 72k.

Yeah, they changed the pay, & now I make less but get a percentage of each sale.

Like they say, " you can't put a price on a good nights sleep"

Some people have been sleeping on shytty mattresses since their pre-teens and don't even know how a new mattress is.

i remember when i thought i was winning, cause i copped a $150 futon and just put blankets on it and really thought that "sleep is just sleep"

dropped $600 on a decent mattress, and it was

Buy one from some nice old white people that looks like it was barely used. Make sure you try to get some free covers and sheets in the deal.

You're talking about rent to own furniture, not shyt like a Bassett or Ashley store.

them fukkers are predatory lenders, the same reason you never see Rent-to-own furniture stores in nice areas is the same reason you only see check cashing spots in the hood.
