I said that for $500 a mixer would be usable but not
serviceable -- which is true of all the cheap mixers; the
labor costs for disassembly alone end up being more than
the mixer is worth.

I did a little checking around and failed to find even one pro audio shop
that wanted $500 to do an inspection of a $500 mixer.


You also failed to realize that by the time a $500 mixer gets to a repair
shop its actual value has dropped significantly, which makes Paul's
observation valid.


I've taken a few of them apart myself, and it isn't rocket science. I
could see where someone who didn't want to deal with that class of
customer or product might intentionally price themselves out of the
particular marketplace, but that's an administrative choice, not a
technical necessity.


Or maybe they have done enough of it to properly assess the costs and risks
involved.
