of course i would take it over pachter, but dont they know how things will cost exactly once they start mass production? 

I cannot be 100% sure about this, but i was under the impression when you go to manufacturer you sign a contract with the proccesing plant for the cost of the parts.

So i would suspect they know the number of machines they are going to make in a set period and so can do the mass bulk purchasing of goods now. So i think they *will* know the cost... if they are close to mass production that is :)

thanks for that clarification, it makes more sense.
