If you have a vendor that's going to bring in a lot, then you can spread the duty and shipping over more product and bring the price down. I would think you could probably buy/offer it at a better price too since i'm sure any manufacturer would give you a price break at a certain quantity. If you are buying one at a time you (the customer) are paying for everything.
I guess I can see the high price but you would think if they want it to sell here they would have to lower it. I will wait to see if any members here get it and dyno it. Still cant see whats so different then the other short rams like it.
