Might have guessed it would come down to custom priced flamingos! Sounds like you hate spending money even more than I do!
Err, yeah. I am widely regarded as the most miserly person people have ever known.

If your sim has the full discount business perk and sells things at a minimal markup, aren't the playables actually getting a bargain? - or at least not being ripped off.
No. Buying of any junk at any price which cannot be immediately sold for a profit is a ripoff. Period. Furthermore, I don't enjoy playing inventory garbagecleaner. It's not fun.

So anyway there's a challenge for you - 5 top businesses Ethiopian style - no bathrooms and all priced rock bottom because ethiopians are broke.
It's easy to get business rank, but businesses like that don't make money worth crap. In order to be considered a truly successful business in my mind, it must also make profit. Granted, I demand that the business model make SOME kind of sense, so no alley bubbles nonsense, but the pricing can be outlandish. Simland is pretty inflationary anyway.

Being able to resell at normal catalogue or close to works for me. If you've gone to a family with a specific purpose in mind and find they are broke because of their shopping habit, then yes, inventory cleaning is a chore - especially when you know they were really ripped off. But if you wander into a lot because you haven't played them for a while, then it is kind of fun seeing what they have in the inventory and placing the decor items. If you know they didn't pay over the odds for them that is -knowing they were ripped off stops it being fun. You can always find a space for a few decor items and if not it can go into a teen inventories for when they move out - or they get the old junk and mum and dad get the new stuff.

Yes I guess it would still be too easy to get stars. It's just money is so easy to make in Sims2, I want a different objective than make millions. We just got through saying we don't spend it! I'm just experimenting with an "alternative", "socially friendly" business model I guess.

This is my current business model. It's very expensive and sims need to earn a lot of money to be able to afford such a thing. Because hey, it worked for the Ancients, so why can't it work for your sims?

Awesome is about the only reply to that. Don't think my sims can afford it. ;D gotta go...

See, and that's the entire point of earning a hojillion dollars: So you can be buried with it in a magnificent $1.5M tomb!
