Not to mention the unexpected fees you had to pay the shipping company that ate into your ability to do the $700 price point, so by my calculations, you're actually netting less than the $150 per tune and probably closer to the $100 point since you couldn't offer it up at $700 price.

In an ideal world, John would be able to focus solely on tuning research/analysis and tweaking. Others would handle his sales/marketing/customer support/purchasing/distribution/other logistics. In that world, however, this tune would no longer have been available at the groupbuy price point. Oh, and in that ideal world, ECUTek wouldn't have run out of cables either
