it's possible that your analysis here is in fact correct.  I guess I was
just assuming that in bulk orders, some money could be saved on shipping
and perhaps even customs (maybe customs are different/cheaper when importing
for resale).  in other words, Elektron likely pays $100+ of the $1350 just
for shipping and customs fees. so perhaps when they export 10 MnM's, 10 MD's
and 10 mini-MnM's they only pay $50 per machine?

I don't know. all we can do is speculate, really. but whether people buy
direct or not, it's great to see that people are interested in the MnM
and Elektron. so they're supporting Elektron either way - and they'll
certainly be rewarded through their enjoyment of the machines! :-)
