Ok ETIM has gotten license deals with as you know with MLB the vatican ST etc... they design the product and I beleive have a set up in China that actually produces them now I`m not sure the cost but China is cheap labor, plus they have to pay a % to the licensee`s they won`t discuss that since its a exclusive deal and numbers are a no no when it comes to that, but I`m guessing a Urn may cost them less than 1/3 of Retail to produce including the percentage to the licensing company.

parts made in China, most of the actual putting them together in US...Very large warehousing capability and with EIE coming on line, they have capability to ramp up huge production if needed.

The more licenses EI grabs the more market share they grab, and a side effect of the designs and the licenses, is that many will buy several products just for the collector feature, ie MLB and Star Trek. Star Trek will even be branched off into a Klingon and possibly Borg (I hope) line...

That would be 3 urns for the ST fanatics like me...
