How does amazon justify the 25% markup? Sites like etsy.com (where one can sell products of their own crafts) take 3% commission. Title: Re: fractalforums.com Calendar 2012 - Price is up to 29,99€ Post by: cKleinhuis on December 07, 2011, 05:37:28 PM i dunno!

In the early years, Amazon earned a reputation, and now they are cashing in on that. I could imagine that many customers check Amazon first, and don't bother looking around for alternatives when they find what they want.
As for the price: fair is fair. Chances are that some calendars remain unsold, a very few might even get lost/damaged during shipping. A healthy margin can catch those losses. And your profits help sustain these forums here. :) Title: Re: fractalforums.com Calendar 2012 - Price is up to 29,99€ Post by: David Makin on December 07, 2011, 08:44:41 PM I don't understand - when my dad sold some books via Amazon they charged almost nothing.....
