everyone can look at it this way. You have an object made of several types of exacting metal, made to the 1/1000 of an inch in every dimension, with at least 7 different complex to manufacturer parts, with a multi decade shelf life, shipped hundreds if not thousands of miles, at a cost of less than $1.00 per unit in most cases. Yea capitalism. Always look on the bright side. At worst someone is making more money off of the buying public, and that someone is wants to keep the money coming,
