120.000$, soon we have enough for Darksoft's new Ferrari
heheheguys, let's not confuse sales with margin...
For sure, totally agree.
Guys below is the basic process for Electronics/PCB development to bring a product to market (skipped all regulatory/certification extras), besides these actual costs, there is also TIME. The engineer has to spend a considerable amount time to make this happen. When you factor in that a basic engineer charges an hourly rate of $125-300 for product development, I cant even imagine how much time Darksoft has spent on this, and whatit would add up to.
So I am very thankful that he has done this at what I consider a VERY reasonable price.
Try to add up what the below would cost, mind you, the more complex the PCB, the higher the costs.
