Interesting information about the economics of marketing small electronics on the web: http://www.eetimes.com/author.asp?section_id=36&doc_id=1327192&; Key comment: "In September 2012, motivated by some of these success stories we decided to launch a new single board computer project called Parallella on Kickstarter. The campaign ended up raising $898,921 from 4,965 backers in less than a month. On the surface this looked like a huge success, but over the next two years we ended up spending more than $1.5 million to deliver on all of our Kickstarter commitments." 18441 The Regen appears to fit most closely with the middle column of numbers. Note the "Minimum units for break even", which appears to be well in excess of anything reported publicly for the Regen. Simple logic suggests that if it is profitable, it is because it development costs are far less or its profit per unit is far more. +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: Andreas-1-Labor-costs.jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=18441| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ arnyk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=64365 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103842 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
