New Widelux possibly coming

I’m sure that the profit margin is well above 50%.

I hope so - otherwise it'll be a one off.

Capitalism, man.

I hope this isn't a one time thing. If these things are reliable and can be serviced and repaired that would be great. Hopefully there's more to come. Maybe a Safari edition for people who yearn for green. Don't know how the bodies are going to be done? Hopefully tooling will be sustainable.

I can't believe that this is a huge money maker. I hope it's enough.

For anyone who has new product development and manufacturing experience, this is clearly a passion project. They won't make much money, if at all. The gross margin (retail price vs cost of material plus labor) might be high, but at this batch size they can barely cover tooling and development costs. I applaud their effort, but it might be difficult to maintain production and future service.

it is niche, it is a one time, it is not a money maker (I don't believe it was meant to be) and surely was made for the few who can throw money at it and keep it in a glass box.

What‘s wrong with that?

Nothing, it’s great. But you should look at the point that I was answering. (In my post)

Nothing else quite like this. The used stuff is risky. Maybe sometime.....
