No he wasn't JUST pointing that out, he also took a huge dig at the fact that some companies have moved manufacturing to Asia, and tried to infer that prices should come down because of that.

As myself and BCRdukes are pointing out, the fact that they moved manufacturing overseas doesn't make any difference.

Look at any sport that most people do for pure pleasure, the profit margins on gear are RIDICULOUS, but people will pay it because its what they WANT to spend money on.

What do you think the profit margin on a $600+ Lib Tech snowboard is?

How about a set of golf clubs which cost $3000?

Hell I have a hockey stick that was $400. Probably only costed like 50 bucks for them to form it.
