    50% margins aren't that high for a "cutting edge" low volume product.

    Civic cars are high volume with an established market and consumer base.

    Not everything is an apples to apples comparison.

    I'll never buy one because I use Arch BTW, but there needs to be a profit incentive for new tech to be developed, otherwise we get rehashes of the same old same old.

    I've never bought a new "cutting edge" product that's cost more then what it should, and I'm pretty into technology/computers

    What products specifically are you considering?

    But also, you mentioned Arch, so I got to ask, are pantyhose conformable?

    They're socks
