What do you do for a living? No matter what good or service you are providing, if you consistently provide it at your cost or less, then you won't be in business very long.

People decide what the market will bear, and the market tells them if they are correct or not. If you think you can do it cheaper, go for it. If you're right, you'll rake in the bucks.
