The write-up misses postage as an issue for any startup moving a physical product or trading anything physical between customers. Postage prices within Australia are rough and even worse if you're trying to ship out of the country. People buy from Book Depository (free shipping, at least in the past, from the UK) and Deal Extreme (free shipping from Asia) often getting products more cheaply than they could even ship them here.
