"European sellers of Linear-B products charge a lot for postage to the UK"
I dont usually buy from the UK for precisely the same reason postage is too much except for the odd seller... so much for the free market...
I think there has to be an number of sets produced to justify the tooling and the tool itself is going to vary in cost based on a lot of different criteria...
Think about it for a moment though.... if only 3000 sets are produced from a short run tool/mould and they retail at 6-7€... and compare the difference in average price between single and multi-tool sets...
How much does it cost to make a sort run tool? its not rocket science as they say....
