Fabrication cost

I almost finished the imx6 rex project and I asked for a quote from a manufacturer for 5 pcbs but the unit cost seems so high! Its 400 euros for 1 and the tooling cost is 600 euros (which seems normal). I just want a couple of boards so I can verify my knowledge learnt from your videos. Is this a reasonable price??? Do you think the unit price reduces drastically if you ask for say 1000 units?

I asked the unit price for 50 and it was down to 120 euros. so ı guess quantity matters
