OiRogers Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 A long time ago TTK broke down his cost vs the passed on "Retail" cost of the pieces he was sourcing. There is no question in my mind that the Factory is making obscene profit overall... CNC machining is just getting cheaper and cheaper... Dealers are also making a very comfortable margin... I'd guess it becomes a reasonable margin when customs losses and reshipments get factored in. Now my question... Who takes more risk? The factories with physical space and tooling and inventory? Or the dealers who source and ship internationally? If/when the local government decide to offer up some sacrificial lambs to show how tough on piracy they are, who do they grab? I'd be curious how many Canal St subs are made for every "good" rep made.... We may be a relatively closed system for he factories and dealers to skim money from, but I'd be willing to bet we are not the largest target market.
