Wrong, it's to keep the profitability abnormally high. If you meant wholesale pricing for retailers, then you're right. It sounds like its wholesale price is 2 and a half dollars each by the container-load. (one of those big trailer boxes you see going from the port.)
I plan to buy one on eBay, but I'm not spending more than $7 for THIS box plus shipping, without the coupons.
(by the way, I do have above average knowledge in PCB designing, assembly line construction, and know how to shop sourcebooks for parts. That's how I know these things are made ultra-cheap. )
