Personally, a gain of 300k is not greedy or sinful because it is not excess. Remember, you did not add shop rent, shop maintenance costs, staff salaries, tax etc. Besides, you did not state how long it takes to sell it all off. If it takes 2 months to make a gain of 300k on a product, it means the business is not yet successful sef. The bible is against using false scales and Cheating People and also against inflating prices to frustrate people. Eg garri that is normally sold for #500 per paint because you heard the government is introducing a lockdown you sell that same stock for #1500 per paint.
And you ended up contradicting yourself

I Am curious to know from bible scholars in the house. You see a situation where the wholesale price of an item is lets say #2100 * 100pieces =210,000. Transportation = 90,000, total =300k and the trader eventually selling it #6000naira which is =600k.

So is it a sin? Your answers with biblical reference
op please which product is that?

To me, I have not come across this question as per making too much profit a sin, as for you are not hitting too hard on whom you are selling those things to.

As far as you don't put the customer under duress, and the customer doesn't complain, I don't see a reason why it should be a sin. If the price is too high, you walk away, it's a choice.
I wonder what you'll say about domain investors buying for as low as $10 and selling for $10,000, sometimes even millions of dollars.


I have always wanted to go into this domain flipping...

I hear people cash out big time...
