Actually I think the article sums everything up that was wrong at the end:

"I learned that a markup of 150 percent doesn't mean much when you're only making 75 cents per item."

And of course the final nail in the coffin:

"These are hilarious. You gonna give these to us? I bet you could sell thousands of them."

You're right the end made the article. Some articles posted on HN I have trouble getting through the entire thing - glad I did on this one.
