That's assuming if can sell la laugh.gif
Death rate is quite significant & the cost of keeping them alive until they're sold is something to consider too lol.

Most people who aren't in business line will always think many businesses sell at cut throat prices, not understanding the margin is there to cover a lot of costs laugh.gif
