Just means it’s realistically priced. Typical bill of materials for consumer electronics is 1/9 to 1/12 the msrp. This allows for ~3x markup for manufacturer and ~3x markup for store front. Not sure why 3x is such a magic number, but it seems to be a good target for the last 40 years.
- londons_explore 8y agoTrue, but in this case, the design work is much lower than most products - just an FPGA hooked up with the recommended schematic and a couple of weeks work integrating a free CPU core with free tools and a free software stack. Granted, they might not sell enough of these to pay for even a small amount of design work.
