Remember that comment about the Razors only costing $100 to manufacture?
How much does an OEM bin cost? Less than you think.
Compared to how much is an OEM bin priced at: which is whatever the market will bear (and whereever peoples price anchors are!).

At the SHOT show this year, I was able to meet with several aggressive importers who were willing to build binoculars for whomever would order the quantity they wanted. They had ED 8x42s for $80 a pop. Non-ED were only about $50. We took three home for T&E. They are actually quite good and right up there with Vortex and some of the other up and comers. I thought that the VERY best stuff was still the expensive stuff however. The sharpest spotting scope I have ever looked through is hands-down the Kowa 88 mm TSN with Fluorite crystal lenses. They have to be experienced to be believed. They aren't cheap either. That said, there were some spotters that were 95-96% of this for <$400. That's a big shift for the last edge of performance. I guess kinda like the difference in price between a Corvette and a Lamborghini!
How did I know what this thread was about shortly after reading 24hourcampfire?
