Illuwatar,

Exactly one year ago I spent conisderable time and effort speaking to a factory that would make miniMIG 1.0  in low numbers. 100 units was the sweet spot required to make the numbers work. Lower runs are possible but you'd just be making them for the sake of making them without a real profit. Theres no way to stop someone else, in this case(ACube) from selling them at a slightly lower price.

So if it don't make monet it don't make sense...LOL!

Maybe speak to Acube as they already have the logistics in place from producing Mini-MIG 1.0.

I could look into producing a run or 10 units if you like with the same factory. I'm guestimating the production cost would be like $125-$150 for 10 units... I dunno...

I even spoke to contact that works with V-Tech's factory (makers of the Laser128 apple clone) and they laughed at the low numbers, but they don't get the retro market.
