Even figuring in R&D costs it's to much. I would imagine this should cost no more than $500 or $600 at this point given the current cost of LEDS etc.
Start up capital no doubt, I'm sure to implement a line like this there is a VERY large sum of cash upfront. I'm sure as more come on the market we will see a price drop, not everyone is as brilliant at building these things as you are Ron .
