Component cost increases due to the pandemic and supply chain issues easily increased the price by 25-30% in our industry due to several factors outside of the norm, like some single source parts most companies relied on with factory problems, fires, etc
In my experience over the past 6-12 months this is significant
- repiret 4y agoOh component costs have gone up for sure the last year or so. But I'm saying the per-unit component costs wouldn't be that different between making 1,000 per year or 10,000 per month.

- IAmPym 4y agoYour making the assumption that one can buy 1000 of any part, which is likely incorrect These ain’t normal times
- krageon 4y agoAre you lecturing someone who does this for a living on the environment of their specific professional setting? Why do you assume you know better?
- IAmPym 4y agoAs above, not only do I do this for a living but in the specific sub-industry this product is made for, which means in this particular case I know quite a bit. Very seldom do I think I know better but in this case I have industry specific knowledge
