Coffee and most other processed beverages. Frappachinos specifically. The cost to create a packaged Frappachino is about 7 times less than its production cost. Your basic soda only costs about one forth of its sale price. And the Bottler doesn't make it and therefore "adds value". He just...

High Resale Value? To whom? A king that could purchase a 5,000,000 GP sword would likely much rather arm his entire army with 500 GP swords. You're going to always scale issues at the highest costs. Further, a sword is far easier to lose or have stolen than something like a wealth-producing...
