$10 + $30 = $40, quick maths.
The end seller is making $10 over list price.
Now we haven't factored in shipping from vertex to the destination in Japan, pre-shipping. Nor are we even considering if there is a broker involved.
So how much are they really making over a savy buyer getting it direct?

They aren't buying them direct from Vertex. They aren't $10 (which is shown in my sweet photobucket pic). Also, since when does it cost $30 to send an envelope?
They buy parts in bulk. Emblems don't add weight, so they are shipping for free essentially.
It's a stupid mark up on a $5 badge. Anyway, that was just a small example. The Origin coveralls are the real crime.
