ETD prices

[Newton Hunt]

Ron did a good job on screwdrivers.  What he neglected (forgot, didn't
think of, afraid to say ( :) ), is if you wanted to make screwdrivers
for the markets what would it cost you to tool up and produce.  I don't
think you want to know that.  If you make them yourself, one at a time,
the cost gets astronomical.  They do not make 100,000 of them a year,
which is what brings the cost down because you can  amortize setup costs
over 100,000 instead of 250 or so a year.  There isn't a large enough
market for the tools to warrant that level of production.
