I must be missing something. I am not quite sure how your comment about financing address what I posted.
But just in case my point was not clear I will say it in a different way.
People are curious as to how someone can sell a machine for $200-$300 and make money. Most people are just bringing up buying parts. What I am saying is there is more to production than just buying parts which you must consider in the price to sell your product for. Sure there is the high volume = lower cost and low volume = higher cost formula.
