I can buy the chips and pay myself living wage and still solder Arduino nano for cheaper than they sell it and I don't live in 3rd world country. That's the amount of profit they make on one.
It's not the case of just chinese labour being cheaper, they earn massive profits on one and when you can have 5 or even 10 boards made for cost of one arduino it just becomes silly.
- varispeed 3y agoThere is a substantial difference between making something for yourself and make it to sell as a business. Also take into account that someone with a skill is not going to look at making a living wage. It's a poor return of investment in one's education.
