Why not just give them away?

Used copies of the DVD for Tarsem Singh's The Cell (2000) are available at Amazon for as low as 78 cents. I'm not sure I understand the economy behind this price.

Are you paying postage on top of that? Because Amazon gets a commission on the selling price, we sometimes see items priced as low as £0.01 on Amazon UK. Then they get their profit by charging you more postage than it actually costs to ship (and they don't have to pay a percentage to Amazon).

I did wonder whether postage brought in revenue. I wonder how much of the $2.98 in postage is "excess".
