"Dealers (aka Retailers): Unlike a distributor, a dealer has bought the product. Whether they're selling to businesses or consumers, dealers are usually independent retailers or small chains that display and promote what's generally a limited selecion of products. Typically, they take a large markup (often double their cost, called a **** 'keystone' ****) on the wholesale price to compensate for higher operating costs and smaller volumes"

recargo o sobreprecio
Por lo menos así se le llama aquí en Argentina al monto adicional que agrega el comerciante por sobre el precio mayorista.

Keystone Method
The keystone method is an example of a very simple approach to markup and presents a different formula. To use this method, a person simply doubles the amount the company pays to determine the retail price. A $5 US Dollar (USD) item therefore is sold for $10 USD, while a $500 USD item would be sold for $1,000 USD. Note that while the formula is consistent—COST x 2 = SELLING PRICE—the profit for each sale goes up with the initial expense of the item. Put another way, the keystone method has a 50% margin and 100% markup.
Hope it helps
