Re: Harry Potter
ASDA notice this afternoon. From midnight tonight. New Harry Potter book £5. 2 per customer. First come first served.
If ASDA is selling the book at a loss then that is below the belt and they should be hauled over the coals because as I understand it loss leaders are not legal any more.
However if £5 generates ASDA at least 1p profit then that is market forces at work. It does begger the question though – if ASDA can sell the book at £5 and still make a profit imagine what profit a book shop is making by selling the book at the RRP of around $17.
Personally I will wait until the film comes out on DVD. I’ve got the first four because they are rattling good yarns and I’m looking forward to getting the remainder over time.
