Re: 90$ is cheap w/Kindle (Dan Brown's new bestseller) news!     16-Sep-09 05:48 pm    
From the tear down analysis,
parts alone is 176.83
manufacturing and labor is 8.66
normally outside analysis will forgot
manufacturer G&A (estimate) 5.56
manufacturer margin (estimate) 9.55

Total cost for Amazon $201.05 (purchase from manufacturer)

Assuming sea Freight and duties
24.13

Amazon landed cost is about 225.18

Therefore Amazon is keeping 60% margin on top of landed cost, if you deduct the operating expenses and others, Amazon decent margin will be somewhere between 25% to 38% (net) depend on rebates and discounts.

What's that times 2 million?
