I do not for the life of me understand the pricing structure surrounding the guide rails.
I think that this is the only time aside from 'clearance pricing' where the cost/unit goes up as you buy more of it.
800mm -> $0.078/mm
1080mm -> $0.074/mm
1400mm -> $0.067/mm
so far this is what one would customarily expect.... cost/unit going down
here it seems backwards as the cost/mm goes up significantly as compared to those listed above and continuing to rise
1900mm -> $0.088/mm
2400mm -> $0.096/mm
2700mm -> $0.096/mm
3000mm -> $0.096/mm
5000mm -> $0.094/mm
The 1400 guide rail is, if my math is correct, ~15% less/mm than the 800, but the 3000mm is ~20% more. The only logic I can see behind that is packaging costs. However I have a hard time believing those costs increase at those rates. So what gives?
