Yes, you were looking from the customer perspective and I was looking from the seller perspective.
Neither is wrong and makes an interesting conversation especially if the parties involved don't realize the opposite views.
Oh and as far as that goes on the discount stuff, I would bet money that they have a decent markup on most stuff.
I do believe that Amazon makes at least 25% if not 50% of their revenue from the sellers.
