$300 sounds an awful lot for something I could have made in China for under $2 each for 1000pcs (plus tooling costs) ???
I understand tooling costs only too well but they must be doing their sums on selling VERY few of these to come up with that sort of figure or have HUGE setup costs???
My preliminary investigations into this product revealed tooling of around $500
Making a guess at sales of 100pcs over 2 years (just a guess) of $35 each brings in $3500
Their costs would obviously be a lot higher but will the finished product be any better than one made in PRC?? For my money, I would certainly buy one at $35 but $300 I would baulk at.
