Not for a run of only 250.

Edit: I should have explained that I was referring only to economies of scale in manufacturing of electronics. Making only 250 of some electronic device means a much higher per unit cost than if one made 10,000 of the same thing. You can look at quantity discounts of microcontrollers or sensors or things like that ok Digi-Key or Mouser and see what I mean.

Yeah it is. A rare stupid thing is as worthless as a common stupid thing if you're not an idiot about it.

I'm talking about economies of scale ffs. Not rarity.

Prices of electronic components goes way down beyond, say, 1000, 5000, 10000, etc.

And I'm talking about how much owning and using it is worth, regardless of the seller's self-imposed extra expenses.
