I'm going by what the Schulze 40.160 cost. I did a simple calculation even going by what the Authorized Distributors web pricing and I couldn't come up with why Schulze is charging so much. Now my prices on most of the components based on online pricings are 60-85% less and some times higher depending on the component.
Now a simple concept would be what most of us Independent Distributors (Or Brokers) use. Sell higher quantities at a reasonable price and make more profit. Make 1000 units at $150 profit and you have $150,000, now make 10000 units and make $50 profit and that gives you $500,000. A lot of retail and online places complain that Hobby city sells really low and the main reason is they know how to sell (Also, they are there in Asia and don't have to pay for high shipping
).
