Nonsense.  

Any time there is a distributor in a transaction the transaction will be
affected by adjustments made by the distributor .  The distributor can even
decide to sell a product at a loss.

The factory doesn't pay to ship it's product, the distributor does.  Even
Elecraft has no control over the shipping cost passed on to the distributor by
the company who hauls the freight, which is passed on by Electraft to the
customer, unless Elecraft decides to provide free shipping or not charge the
customer for the parts in the assembled product.

Caution: OT Comment...

I agree with you that stock holders drive the price of products, but it seems to
me that the stock holders should never be so stupid as to pay CEO's the insane
salaries they have these days.
