That's true, but you're also incurring a lot of shipping costs that are either raising your retail prices or cutting further into your margins.
If they print 300 laser sheets they can get a bulk delivery.
If you buy one game from me and it's psuedo-in-stock then I am paying postage from that supplier, then sending you the game once I assemble it.
Ideally AP buys their own printer, but I have no idea how much that costs and even if it was only a few hundred bucks it's probably beyond their ability to manage. Best to leave the operations/maintenance risk in someone else's hands.
