Elektron Musical Instruments

I was just sitting here and thinking about this, and maybe I'm 
missing something, but wouldn't Elektron make more money if you 
bought direct from them? If they charge $1350 for the monomachine, 
they get the whole amount, whereas a store buys it from Elektron at a 
discount, so Elektron makes less. IN the case of say Novamusik - they 
sell it at $1310 including shipping, so they are obviously paying 
Elektron less than that. So, at least financially, why isn't it 
better for Elektron to buy directly from them? Of course there are 
reasons to want to sell through others also...
