I haven't worked at a reseller in a while, but I have kept in touch with my old boss, and they still pay more than the educational prices.

I remember when the slot-load iMacs came out in 1999. The low ($800) model only made a store about $60 profit -- in other words, about $0 after shipping and overhead. God forbid someone needed support on one of those, it'd put us in the hole.
