Clocks with chips. Whatever will be next.

Are a dollar for the movement behind a piece of paper sold for $20.

Looking at market bearings, a programmable event alarm linked to an
exterior power source, which turns on or that source along with an
apparent light of LED confidence.

Appliance timers are selling for $20. Not mechanical trips with so
many slots and buttons of limits to their restrictive measures, which
lag to a transition, but the digital equivalent without conspicuous
limitations.

Mid-marketing interestingly has its say on that. Stacking the two
aside one another occurs from a comparative view to sourcing their
materials from southern Chinese borders at the divide, most directly
indistinguishable between Hong Kong.

But when, last and exasperated by a interim buffer between West and
East, having evaluated to select the East for a direct source, a West
final or counter-offer was then revealed to me from an Eastern
affiliate, an OEM branding outfit, closest to the Far East but located
in the occidental West.

The price struck was at a 30% markup over 60% discounts reflected by
source marketing appraisals, over and above market forbearance for a
Western discrepancy of added profits, effectively then to reduce a
perceived cost/value by half.

Of interest notably, between a browser for bouncing prices back and
forth for both Western mid-marketing interests, that the final outcome
should occur at the checkout-stage, apart from wares initially priced
as so presented.

Pulled out from underneath the table from a box, as it were, of
cookies I wouldn't, offhand, say with certainty that they could not be
further factored for sharing operable principles between the two
interests.
