i dont understand what you mean here.. cost of brick, as i understand it is Cost
to Manufacture, then part out into sets (which should be saved since its bulk),
then cost of shipping. "Hidden" means there something else in this mix im not
aware of (customs might fall into this batch)

Most of BL charges more than Lego for many items, altho mostly rare figs,
pieces, etc. But the real reason to buy BL? I want six 1x4.. not 50.. even if I
pay 20 cents each, i save because i only want six.
But if you're right, and the BL seller automatically lowers his price to compete
with TLG.. wouldn't s/he be then run out of business? Troy can't continually
take a loss in order to move product just to be competetive - eventually he'll
go bankrupt! No, BL sellers (bulk sellers, not used lego sellers) must be
making a profit, simply for the logic of it!
