The cost of this product is anywhere between $80-$100 depending on what sort of deal the distributor got.

The sale price is $300.
There are processing fees, employee commissions/salary (shipping, sales reps) office space costs

At this payout they are losing money on every transaction. So unless they have banked a lot of cash to recoup from paying out more than they are even making - you can only guess what they are probably doing.

Yes, I am publicly saying this. And you can feel free to say "how unprofessional". I really don't mind, considering you probably have an adult.com sig on and are being paid per post.

Ohhh I almost forgot about the $100 signup bonus too. Didn't even factor that in. Come on people, use your head here.
I have no adult.com sig, and I'm not paid per post. People undercutting costs to get new members is nothing new. It happens all the time, and is usually a limited time type of deal. It works, it's business, get used to it. How many sponsors out there pay for free joins/1$ joins? I bet they lost money on some of those joins too...but some of the joins result in making money eventually - just like attracting affiliates that will make you money in the long run.

Christ.
