Marketing and production are REAL COSTS. They are barriers to entry. (and no matter what Amazon would like you to believe, Marketing is an expense that never goes away and cannot be legitimately written off as a one time non-recurring charge) If I produce 1 gallon of beer in my garage, I am not a credible competitor to Coors Brewing, Inc. Try again. --- Sure they do. Anyone can make beer, candy, preservatives, lubricants, etc. It takes two guys and a garage. Marketing's the problem, KIS.
