You probably all know this, but still ....

What item :-

- costs 22p each to import (made in China)
- sells for a retail £4.20 each
- makes an easy £2+ profit per item
- sold thousands recently
- makes a confused statement

?

Is it something to do with white poppies?

We have a winner (almost)!

It is the V for Vendetta style mask, used by the anti-Capitalist brigade.

My source is off the radio, so obviously questionable.

It is reassuringly ironic to think that Capitalism is still alive and well, due in small part to the anti-Capitalist protestors !

(I think I got the made in China bit wrong,oops)

They are more like £8-9 on Amazon, so £4.20 is a bargain!

The cost is ten bucks in Aus which is not far from £4.20

A couple of questions back to you all:

1. Which company is the biggest manufacturer of tyres in the world?
2. Which company makes the most clothing items in the world?

My source was admittedly Radio 5, and a comedian to boot.

I was just surprised that they only cost 22p per unit, and I think that price is landed too.

I'm hoping the anti-Capitalists wear iPhones as broaches next year, so we can see a flood of them cheap on the market

I know the answer to 1. & 2. , but I am avowedly a small time player

I feel the same.
It reminds me of the question about what's the most commonly-owned book (whose price almost nobody knows).

I assume Mao's Red Book. Or something like Dr Seuss.

Or even perhaps a religious tome?

I had a wrong guess for 1 and 2.

I was going to say mustache and goatee but that seemed like too much of a giveaway. I had also considered poppies but decided it didn't quite fit but white poppies might well.

I was thinking about the UK. Mind you, I'd be surprised if everywhere doesn't have it. Different editions/versions are most definitely available.
