Especially when one considers the markup on high end frames and components. They must be making a killing on the cost savings by doing it overseas. My friend who works at one of the companies that makes high end bikes said the type of stuff that'd cost thousands of dollars (even on the secondary market) was priced at a extreme fraction of the cost during a sale where employees could buy components and bikes. People who didn't even need some of the items (especially wheelsets) bought them because of how ridiculous the prices were relative to buying them at normal price. Like, absolutely staggering amount of savings where you could make a tidy profit off of it on the used market. Even companies I know that went out of business didn't give nearly as much discounts on some of the items I saw they were selling (e.g. monitors). I'm still a little saddened that he forgot to ask me if I wanted anything!
