Let me rephrase my statement. I'm not criticizing their pricing. It is their product. I am suggesting that if these were cheaper, more would sell....I'd buy some at less than $300 for example. That being said, I do not now the cost so the above statement is just an opinion. These are not NOS or original, these are Mfg'd so there is always negotiotion involved with cost. It is possible to make more money at less cost.

MFG'ing cost is driven by qty of orders as you know. Perhaps a vendor could approach it as a pre-order situation or exploration of potential demand.

No issues though with said vendor or any other here. It is their business!
