I disagree. You can make a huge profit on books depends whether the books sell or not. Normal profit margin on books is 100% minimum. So if you buy a book that is listed at $99.95, Amazon max. cost is $50. If the book sells by itself, Amazon doesn't have to do anything, just collect the money. More and more people that I talked to have been going to bookstores like Chapters, read the book that they wanted, then buy it at discounted/lower price from Amazon. In regards to Pharmaceutical product, the profit margin is extremely deep. The pharmaceutical salespersons in a typical pharmaceutical company makes $90K per year, with travelling expenses all paid. I know a few myself, that why I know you can make big money. In fact, name a pharmaceutical company that is losing money?
