Hi Engadin. I think the current prices are largely due to the fact that it is extremely expensive for them to manufacture a single unique item. One has to calculate the price of each individual part and the man-hours needed to assemble them. Plus: Paccus is still a start-up company: each hour devoted to builing such a custom order is time that can't be spent talking to investors or fine-tuning an industrial process that produces the sticks in bulk etc. If I were them, I'd reflect that in my current pricing. If we consider these factors, the current price isn't all that strange.

You're welcome
I hope that Mr. Sikkens contacts you with some official confirmation. They are using some seriously impressive technology in their products. Like you, I'm very curious how they will handle.
