Another version of this question is "Why is it so expensive." So, what I think it is important to realize here is that no one person or group of people make it unreasonably expensive. The reason is it expensive is because there are so MANY people or groups of people taking their cut along the way.
So, I went back and made some tallies, just so you can kind of see who gets money and how much. Or at least who got our money and how much.
