I took a quick look on taobao, and the original DPT-RP1 is selling for about 6000 yuan, so the mark-up is closer to 30% than 65%. On top of that, they probably also have to pay sales tax and shipping and handling fees to get the original devices, which would add quite a bit to their cost. So, they are probably only making about 20%. That seems reasonable to me for something that isn't likely to sell very much.
