Default RE: BME .90 (15 cc) Super Tigre conversion

Can anyone really clarify why a $120.00 engine with a gasoline carb new head and pistone is going for almost $400.00 I mean does that sound hight to anyone or is it just me ?
I don't mean to belittle the braintrust, technology and tooling costs, bust I've heard that these engines don't run that well, so with a track record like that, one would think the price would go waaaaay down until all the bugs were worked out and mass produce them to sell at a lower rate to ameritize their own costs and in turn get more $$ in the long run.
I want one, but there's no way I'll but one at that price.
Just a thought from the peanut gallery~[8D]
