Let's also note he aimed for a higher priced specialty market. His prices were so high he could do it in small run and didn't need to attract the same volume. If people are willing to pay $500-$2000 the whole manufacturing equation changes. This way you can do small runs and pay a lot of NRE and still be viable.
I wouldn't have thought you could find even the hundreds needed at those kinds of prices. I guess I was wrong. I'm sure as you mention his following and reputation were a big part of this.
no he woundn't have got hundreds of orders, but didn't he get a few hundred not 230ish? it helped, that was all I was saying. I'm noooo expert but a bloody newbie. I could do with a less, err, umm, "asserting" writing style, again please help me.
So kudos to him, I don't think a lot of us could have had the same success in getting people to buy at those prices.
oh yes well done to him, hes made some good hardware but like I said a completely differ market.
