They do free shipping and include the shipping cost in the price. Basically, to get an item to sell, they up the price of the toy to reflect the shipping cost and offer free shipping.

The electronics and hardware are proprietary, which means they are MUCH MUCH higher cost than what the Chinese are using. And there you are. THAT'S why Alembics are so expensive. Resale isn't any worse than most high-end builders.

This is what Suhr (and others) do. They build guitars to a very high standard and very high tolerances and so the costs are higher and consequently the price of the finished product will be higher. If the customer wishes to pay for this product it is up to them.

They are expensive because they come from Singapore, and Singapore charges a lot compared to other plants. If I pay more, you pay more! Be warned, there are a couple of Aquabid people selling a "Pygmy nana" for much less.
