That's what the extra margin is for. You can copy their product for cheaper but that doesn't make them a rip off IMO.

If ABBA were my business I'd be doing exactly the same, maximising profits is the raison d'etre. I agree with Owenski though that if there were some competitive products on the market it would force the price down. I suspect ABBA probably have some kind of patent on lifting by the swingarm pivot though, and good on them.
