They don't do it for 25 years <G>. Start-ups generally succeed (as
in the case of Dell, HP, etc.) and move to normalized cost accounting
or they fail in a couple of years.

Unfortunately, MFJ is not the only amateur manufacturer/vendor

"companies" for which amateur products are simply a sideline where
the "other" businesses bear all of the fixed cost/overhead which
results in an artificially low price for the amateur products.
Well, that's a time honored tradition in American startups. Dell
started in his college dorm room. Apple and HP in garages. I
remember when Dell was under investigation by the Texas Attorney
General for failing to fulfill orders, talk about poor customer
service! :) Of course, those companies learned from their
mistakes, changed and succeeded.
