Let's see...
$10 to manufacture the card. $2 per card for shipping from the factory to your warehouse. $5 per card for marketing expenses. $5 for the tax man. $3 per card for EBAY and other fees. $20 per card for profit. All spells:

10 + 2 + 5 + 5 + 3 + 20 = $45 selling price.

But when do you see 128kb cards selling for that low? I haven't.

Card sellers would probably also sell a lot more at $45 a pop than at $100 or more.
