The kind that you buy cheap.

lol.. sort of a strange question. EVERYTHING has a high margin if you set it high.

What I mean is if you buy it wholesale and then sell it for the average price it sells not marking it up high.

software..
costs me 5c to print a new disc or $1 to offer hosting but I can charge several $hundred for the disc or even more every month for subscriptions

I thinks you are asking for retail goods:

In general, premium products have the biggest margins although they have the lowest trading volumes.

Seafood and olives are good.

commodities?

but....i remember looking at industry wide data for this a few years back
service businesses had the highest net profitability ratios..specifically, law firms at like 60%.
the lowest was food retail..restaurants, cafes at like 4%

alcohol; beers & liquors can have high markups especially if you buy into established businesses with grandfathered prices. They range from 35-60+% in my state at least. This is better than most products because of the pure volume that a liquor store can sell.
