If we consider these factors, the current price isn't all that strange.
And this is their 1st and probably last major error.
As start-up you should be able to finance yourself for at least 12 months with more less 0 turnover, heck you should even calculate loss on each item sold.

As small company they dont have the $ for a huge marketing campaign to enter the market, so they have to rely on customer feedback/Word of mouth.
With those fantasy prices they won't achieve either.
