That depends. Are they making a profit? The last thing you want when you develop something like this is to have it become a commodity and sell to the masses for $30. You want to command a high premium and have it going in Bill Gates' and John Edwards' houses. Then you want to spread it out to the nouveau riche and have people paying extra to add a touch of class to their McMansions. Then you want to put out a slightly less sparkly and downmarket version to get featured on Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. Then -- when everybody knows about your stuff and you can't keep people from making knockoffs any more -- then, you bring it down to Wal-Mart.
You make a great advertisement though. I'd really like to see this stuff in action.
