it's hard to explain they should mark the product up 50% (which is a normal markup)
I think 30% is correct, but we can accept your 50% value. :roll: I think the ebay sellers used 30% so they bought the ITB at about $130 (I think under, based on what technology is inside a dashcam). So from $120 to over $360 by "sole distributor" is more than 300%.
The price and marketing are in their hands and the money are in my pocket. At over $200 my money will not fly from my pocket to their pockets, it is so simple. And not only for me.
The only moment when I was interested about the ITB-100HD was when some user announced that it is selling for about $170. In that moment I was interested and studying more and searching for a good trusted price.
Why at that price? For me a dashcam is something that I can suppose I don't use it. I put it in the car and I forgot about it and the only thing I now is that it stay there and record. I will use it only, and if, some (bad) event occur. Even I drive a lot I didn't have any event in the latest... 20 years? I hope no event for entire my life.
A dashcam is not like a smartphone (yes, you can buy 2013 smartphones under $200) which includes much more technology, because I use that smartphone in every second. Or like a photo camera, a tablet, notebook, ipad, etc, these are things which are used by the buyer.
Think to another story: you want to buy a sport car. You will study the internet, some lists, dealers, but I think most of us when will see Lamborghini or Ferrari will be not interested at all because of price. But if some forum users will come on forum and will say: "Hey, Ferrari California is sold now for $10000". And if true?
enjoy,
