Manufacturers get sweet deals from parts vendors, much better than you
will get from OEMs.
I know because I was a product manager for an computer manufacturer
and the prices for 10,000 lot is so low it's unbeliveable. The vendors
will just about give you the parts just to get your business. That's
because they make all the real money on currency translation.
Yes, I know it's called dumping, but it is a reality.
