The current distribution model they have gives them (whoever 'them' is, I can't tell really) some advantage over companies like Individual Computers and others.
Because AFAIK I don't really have any warranty or the extended warranty of two years for my Vampire, that re-sellers have to give in Germany over products like this.
I don't think they have much work todo, yet, to repair defective boards or send replacements and the like.
Once they do that the development will slow down a bit I think.
And for the standalone or A1200, when the stuff gets more expensive, I think I won't buy if there is no warranty.

You get a two years warranty in Germany?
Nice, standard in the US is 90 days.
Usually (or by EU law) you have a 1 year warranty by the manufacturer.
And a 2 years warranty by the (re-)seller. Where within the first year the re-seller will probably go to the manufacturer.
After that he has to deal with it himself.
Now, If I receive a package from Canada from kipper2k with my A600 Vampire for 350€ without any warranty, they clearly make thereselves an easier life than any other hardware company that sells stuff for the Amiga through the usual re-seller channels.
There wasn't even an invoice which I could put into the tax-return.
