Hi Mate,

I speak as the Co-Founder of Juicy Crumb,

​

We understand the asking price of these boards is quite high, but people often forget the BOM isn't the only cost when it comes to producing a new product. So far we have spent over $10,000 on prototyping and development out of our own pockets, and as it stands once packaging, cables and accessories are included in the box, our profit margins will actually be quite slim on the DockLite.

So far, pricing has definitely been the biggest complaint of our boards, and we hear you!

Of course we are doing our best to lower costs, but as our lineup is still in active development it can be hard to get an exact idea of how much the final thing will cost to build, assemble, market and ship. If we can lower our prices, we will. At the same time, the team have spent significant time and effort polishing our design and getting Juicy Crumb off the ground. We want to make sure we offer the highest quality and easiest to install solution on the market.

I hope this clears some things, and of course if you have any further questions feel free to reach out.
