"The store purchases the product or whatever from the supplier, then resells it at a marked up price."

You are sure that the products are marked up more than $200. Of course they make money on regular sales, but every single piece of furniture in the store has a $200 markup?


"I'm saying its at least somewhat likely that they could have decided to sell it for more money to someone who didn't try to haggle it down from them."

So they agreed to sell it, but instead of putting the sign on it the manager called everyone around and announced that they had given somebody a $150 break on the price of the floor model over there and that if the opportunity arose to sell it again to somebody else for more than $550 they should take it? The store is that hard up for $150, yet when they make a mistake their first offer is $200 credit. That seems to be a fairly terrible business model.
