The emphasis of MLMs is on making money from the pyramid, not selling product. The people on the bottom did not get into it to buy the product, they got into it to make money from the pyramid. They just don't have enough gullible friends to make it worth their while.
Yes, retail goods are marked up by 40-300%, but you're paying fair market value, and know ahead of time what you're getting, usually. With MLM, not only is the product overvalued, but it's only there to give a veneer of respectability to what is essentially a con game.
