_relative_ margins as in percent, $6 with 145% tariff is $14.7 which means to maintain the 75% margin you'd have to jack the price up to nearly $60. I agree that you don't necessarily need a 75% margin to do business, but it can't stay flat either because you're floating more than double the money on inventory. In reality prices for cheap crap with huge margins will probably only go up let's say 50% but items that have thin margins will definitely more than double.
