Again, measuring profit only percent per unit is bullshit - you have to look at the actual numbers. And costs.
A software developer takes over 100k a year, if he doesn't he works at the wrong place.
What kind of job should that be 3k? Cleaning the warehouse?
Btw:
Have you ever run a shop?
I did.

Serial numbers: You are aware they can start wherever they like? The can start with a 10digit number if they feel like it.
That's why I asked fort higher or lower numbers, for T5 only.
