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.
