The drive is like $20 tops. HTF do you expect to get a lifetime warranty?

All OCZ rally flash drives have a lifetime warranty. I got my 2GB one for $35.

I recently checked the OCZ rally flash drives in newegg and none had lifetime warranties unless newegg has a typo.

True nonetheless curiosity is what led me to ask.
The drives are very low in price however the price of memory has dropped as well.
They may sell it for 20 but surely they must be making money in any case.

Not to mention they're more or less obsolete within two years. The 64 MB flash drive I got in 2003 kind of sucks compared to the 1 GB drive I got last year.

Not much. Probably <$1 profit on each drive.
