That's what I'm curious about. With that margin I'd guess CPG with a re-branded product. Most retailers are lucky to see anything north of 50% gross margin. I would have imagined a drop shipper having closer to 20%.

Margins on electronic components like resistors are huge. But you have to sell loads of them to make some money.

So a 60-100% margin tells us nothing.

Actually many times I sell products which are available elsewhere for 1/2 the price like on Amazon or wallmart but it doesn't stop people from US buying those products. Not everyone has time or smartness to acquire perfect price info of the market.
