Unfortunately, MFJ is not the only amateur manufacturer/vendor guilty
of that.  Too many "companies" are noting more than a single person
making one or two products in a garage/basement and under valuing the
cost of space, individual's time, etc.  There are even "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.
