Inhabitat just published an article about Blu Homes doing just that. What I found interesting was the article's opening statement:
The homes still aren't cheap by any means, but through the manufacturer's economies of scale and a growing interest in prefab building, they are able to start passing those cost savings on to the customer.I know of no other modular home factory in the US that could lower their basic pricing by about a third and stay in business unless they had been overpricing their homes from the beginning.

You might call them Bling Homes - Americans will pay for perceived value, and not necessarily quality, that justifies the astronomical price.
My old Casio tells time as good as or better than any Rolex watch. And yet.................
Anybody actually compare old versus new pricing? I did and most items seem to have actually gone up in price and I could not find anything that went down by $140,000!
Read the article. This applies to their 2015 lines. So any $140,000 reduction will apply next year.
Good point anon that is why I looked at the 2015 price list on their website and compared it to the 2014 price list I already had.
What kind of a trick are they playing...I just got this email from Blu
Blu Logo
Beautiful Design at 2014 Pricing...Through January 31st
If 2015 pricing is lower why would they send this out....
