Feels a little pricey to be successful. A pity.

It’s an extremely niche product, to be fair. The general public was never going to buy it, and diehards will buy it at a premium price. When you consider the small manufacturing runs they’re probably planning, the price seems less ridiculous IMO.

I wouldn’t pay $300 for it, so I don’t claim it’s a “good value”, but I can understand from a mathematics of manufacturing standpoint why the price is something like that.

Better value than a cocaine or Warhammer habit, probably not as good value as a good chainsaw
