Why can't Parallax do this?? (SX52)

Don't get me wrong, I am very happy with Parallax's products and support. But I was wondering. If they can sell an SX52 proto board for $10 that has a power supply, LED, etc why can't they mount us an SX52 on a converter board so that I can plug it into my bread board?

I am just not good enough to surface mount solder and I don't have the nerve to do the baking, etc. I realize that Parallax is probably loosing some money on the $10 proto board but I would pay $10 for an SX52 mounted on a DIP package.

    -- pricing is an issue with this one as it's very low volume and not nearly as easy to build as the proto boards.

    Oh yeah, I forgot about that...and it is exactly what I need but maybe something a little cheaper than $60? :-P

    lol

    Seriously, I understand the supply/demand issue.

    I will just stick to the $10 proto boards for now.

    It's all about volume... if you commit to a couple thousand we could probably get the price where you want it.
