In their mind: Can they get the same quality from an.....amateur? Yes.
Go figure...
For the record: it is extortionate pricing because of what it costs vs what is charged. Businesses have to make a certain turnover and profit each day/week/month/year, this doesn't have to come from extortion.
Like I said, people that charge this will try to justify it but I am yet to see any worthy justification.
I think that if a product needs so much persuasion to buy, the price is wrong. If everyone's customers just hand over their money without objection then it's clearly not extortionate pricing for you.
Does anyone have an argument for such high pricing other than paying business rates?? Forget skill: that doesn't justify extortionate prices just because you deliver a job that should be at that standard anyway. You don't expect a mechanic to be rubbish but because there are so many, we now have this obscure vision of paying more for what SHOULD be the industry standard anyway.
So you think a branded tshirt costs £30-40 to make for example?
In % terms I don't think the margins would work out much different to some of the canvas prices bounced around in here.
