Consider the typical manufacturer cost to retail cost climb:

Makes widget for $1.50, sells it to broker for $3.00. Broker sells it for 6.00 to distributor. distributor turns around and sells it to wholesaler for 12.00 who sells it to supply house for 24.00 who sells it to you for 48.00.

Every time shit changes hands it gets marked up 100% at least. Sometimes more. Bike shops bid on inner tubes at the beginning of the season, (they commit to buying x number of tubes and the supplier locks in a price for the year. Generic inner tubes can be had for 30-50 cents each. You get to pay 5-6 bucks each. Bikes, on the other hand almost no markup. Maybe 40-50 dollars on a thousand dollar bike. On the other hand, a holding company usually lays out the capital so the shops $ isn't tied up in inventory. They sell the bikes to sell accessories and repairs.

Farmers don't make shit no matter what you pay for the produce.
