I get what every one is saying, but try making a component. Design, test, re-do design, make it work, figure on how to get the parts you need consistently, design a chassis, box, shipping material, manuals, advertising, etc. No wonder there are high priced components versus the low priced components. I did not know who was buying them myself but speaking to a few industry insiders recently, there are people buying the high priced stuff and more than I thought.
