Well, considering the beef loses between 1/2 to 3/4 of it's original weight during the dehydration process and then factor in the cost of spices and other goods to season the meat, the cost of energy in charcoal and wood for smoking the meat and the labor of making and packaging it, it really isn't all that bad.
ETA: And if doing it for sale to the general public, factor in business insurances and they really aren't making that big killing you think they are.
