This is super-basic economics.
The purpose of a retail sales outlet is to add value to the raw products,
so they can sell more units and sell for a higher price.
A store selects things to suit its own taste or theme, works with the supplier
to improve or reshape the product, and advertises. Walmart does those
things, Renderosity does those things.
If you want to sell without this added value, you can run your own website.
Direct sales is much easier with digital products than it would be with, say, vegetables
or automobiles!
