Try furniture... most high end furniture comes from overseas and all furniture has between a 5 and 80% markup at the retail location.

I use to work in a clothing store....my boss traveled a couple of times a year to purchase....he would buy a ladies dress for about .0.55...yeah, 55 cents, it sold in his store for around 100....The fashion industry is perhaps the most obvious....go in any store, and watch the mark downs...a coat that started out at 200. will quickly move out at around 30. and there is still a high profit.

The blue jeans you wear may of been made in Mexico now rather than in the state, labor is cheaper in Mexico now, so between labor and other costs maybe they cost $1.40 to make but they hit retail here for $50.
