A note about pricing in the 500 Series Database

LunchBoxHero does not sell products at this time, pricing is for comparisons only. However, we want the pricing to be fair, but this can be very difficult, especially for a product base that spans many country currencies and has many developers - ranging from huge audio manufacturers to boutique designers building stuff in their lab.

At this time, product prices listed are Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) in US dollars. Since pricing is very competitive, you would rarely pay this price for any product, but instead would pay the Minimum Advertised Price (MAP) or even lower. To further complicate matters many products are made in Europe, and may at present seem to have higher prices than US products because of the weakness of the US dollar. Finally, for some products there is no difference between the MSRP and the MAP.

Long story short? Please use the listed pricing for somewhat, but not totally, accurate comparisons. As reliable MAP data becomes available, we will change the column to reflect the MAP for each product. We are in the process of surveying manufacturers to get this information.
