So, why would a manufacturer demand a run of 50000? It seems to me that a
lot of the stock will be out of date before it would sell. If this is so,
then it's obviously these manufacturers who are screwing everyone.
Let's see if I've got this analogy right. It's like caterers making a
thousand times more sandwiches than were needed for a shop, and charging the
shop for them all, even though only a fraction of the sandwiches would be
sold. The shop would have to put the extra cost on each sandwich in order to
pay for the whole order. Still, if I'm starving and the sandwiches cost
£200 each, I'll buy one.
Cheers
Barry

You wouldn't sell 50,000 units which is the problem, not in any 2 or five
years. Even the venerable and very popular Powerbraille would not have sold
as many units as that I think. The argument goes that if you lowered the
price more people would buy eventually, this may even be true however you
would need fantastic amounts of initial capital outlay to keep you going
before you got that money back in for units sold and that may take far
longer than any investor would be willing to wait.
Only the very largest Japanese electronics firms are able to make that sort
of punt.
