About a year ago I looked into buying a large number of Wemos Minis and selling them on Amazon FBA, more as a capitalist experiment with my kids than to make real money. Turns out they're priced very close to optimal for selling there with minimal profit. In other words, you're paying for the convenience of Prime shipping, but nobody is making a killing off your $7 purchase.

I bought too many and thought the same thing.
Thought I could compete against all the nodeemcu boards.
Once I looked into amazon fullfillment, the margins went way out and I wouldn't make anything... And lose money if didn't sell quickly.
