I assume they put a *lot* of money to get these made, so it is what it is. Just glad to have an option... but hopefully we see these cheaper in the future. Also... not sure if Lysol's quote included the winkeyless keys as well. Personally, I have no use for the number keys either.
Typical markup for retail is 100%, or 2x cost (at LEAST). If you don't understand the basics of business, then keep the commentary to yourself.

I'll make sure to tell everyone I know that doesn't markup their retail this much that you say they have to or they "don't understand the basics of business."
litster needs to update his avatar once again. They're on sale for $4!
there have been a lot of politics lately on the korean forums, particularly when it comes to supplying parts to the US in volume (although it's gotten much much worse than that in the past week or so) unfortunately if you don't have connections and didn't get in on the recent group buys for eg stickers that we were offered, you may be out of luck for a little while.

He had it that way originally too. Really, he should make it an animated gif, with the prices slashing away.

I just feel bad for the guy trying to stand up a new storefront while people expect him to act like a charity. Number one rule, if your money would earn more in an interest-bearing account, then leave it there. Ever hear about a product offered "at cost"? There's a reason it's so awesome. The seller actually loses out because they don't recoup overhead.

$4 is a very good deal.I have had enough trolling done with my current avatar. Should change it back to my Korean hand-made PBT yellow smiley keycap.
