EWOT for 10/28

I was recently looking for handlebar tape for my bicycle and found it for 5 cents with free shipping from mainland china. I bought it just to see what it was all about, but the whole idea of a product from china being sold to me the consumer for 5 cents seems crazy. For there to be any profit that 5 cents has to cover production, development and shipping and then have some left over. Seems unlikely. So, if that's not the case, either this tape has to cost almost nothing to produce, weigh just about 0 ounces, and take up about no space. And even then, the profit is just hovering around 3 cents. So, maybe there's something else wrong, maybe it'a s stolen product, or maybe it just won't ever ship. I figured 5 cents was worth it just to find out.
