Hmm, I didn't take that into consideration... we don't have a mark-up as well, since Apple mandates that price... duh. I have a 5% over cost discount myself as well, which is cool for the books and peripherals and odds n' ends, but is rather pointless towards laptops/printers/desktops/anything good.
