I doubt it. I've been involved in manufacturing and packaging. These
people put the cheapest parts they could into an extruded plastic
shell. Costs relatively pennys to manufacture. The retail package and
shipping are probably worth more.

I read the review, it's a fairly low resolution device, I would

what you could expect to pay for a refconverter, a device that
requires a greater precision of manufacture. This is probably
cobbled together from off the shelf parts.
Someday you might try to "cobble together" something to manufacture
and market as a commercial product. I bet your assessment of pricing
will be different.
