In a video circulating on social media, a market seller claimed to have bought 5 liters of oil for 151 lira and sold it for 450 lira, making a profit of 299 lira. His statement, "There is a 197% profit margin," drew reactions, while some users argued that the claim was not true.
A marketer explained the profit he made from 5 liters of sunflower oil with a calculation at the checkout. The store owner stated that the oil cost them 151.5 lira, while the selling price was 449.90 lira, saying, "It costs us 151.5... Selling 449.90... There is a 197% profit margin. Let's also look at the total profit. 450 minus 151, we have a profit of 299 lira."
"SHAME ON YOU, WHAT CAN WE SAY"
The video, which became a hot topic in a short time, sparked discussions on social media. Some users reacted with comments like, "Shame on you, what can we say," "There can't be such a price difference," and "Is there no oversight, can there be such profit?"
"LET THOSE WHO BELIEVE OPEN A MARKET"
Some argued that the marketer was not telling the truth. Comments like, "You can't find oil at this price," "Even if your father is a producer, you can't get it at that price," "If you believe it, open a market right away," "With that money, you can only buy 2 liters of oil," and "He's lying, if so, let him buy me a truck" suggested that the video did not reflect the reality.
