The only thing that keeps me from jumping on these at the normal price, is that while they produce a very well maintained gaming box, many cost as much as I paid for the game itself. I believe MD could go a LONG way with a 25-50-75 sales pricing threshold on one of the biggest sellers - 7W, perhaps - to cut into the costs mightily. Then perhaps add-ons for other organizers at a reasonably better discount. These are GREAT products, and volume sales like MD can provide to tBT could get them a significant reduction in production costs, depending on how their product line is created (on demand? large runs with significant back-stock? something else?) The problem is, if you are making them on demand, the production costs are fairly static - you don't get deals on materials when you produce on demand, unless you're holding a large volume of raw materials where you get the economy of scale rolling.
According to their site, they are using CO2 Laser CNCs at their facility, so I am guessing they are making them at the facility in Escondido, CA - awesome for keeping it on-shore! A big MD order might cut their production costs by ensuring a long predictable run on those incredibly costly-per-hour laser beds. Dunno, let's get the voting up to 200 and have MD start talking to the good people at tBT about a massive order!
