    I’m not sure who they think will pony up $25 each (and must buy wholesale bulk) for 45¢ of injection molded soft plastic, a 5¢ cord lock, and 3¢ of string.

    • mark says:

      Cost of injection mold tooling is a pretty serious upfront cost. I’m working on parts that are less complex than this and they’re all in the $20-$30k range for tooling.

      Assuming a $25K tooling startup, they would have to sell 1,000 @ $25 each just to break even.

        And then there’s the other costs.

        • Evets Steve says:

          I’m sure this will come with a warning label not to stick it in anyone’s anywhere.

          • Asinine Name says:

            I’d pay $25 just to fondle that vaguely suggestive-looking knob on the bottom.

      • Bloke_from_ohio says:

        Wait, are you telling me that producing stuff costs more than the price of the individual components and or raw unprocessed materials that make them up? $25 is actually pretty reasonable if you have a bona-fide use for this thing. How much do those dedicated camp shower bag things cost?

          This is absolutely untrue, along with the myth of postage, wages, marketing, testing, and rent costing money.
