Yes, often the cost of materials AND labor is bumped 50 -100% going to
the wholesaler, who then bumps it again 100%, and then the retailer
bumps it 100% again.


I imagine every distributor and every retailer in the world would love to
work under the margin scheme you suggest. The reality is far from those
types of markups though.
