    So is a $200 phone, but that doesn’t mean $1200 would be a good price for it.

    Modern cars are a marvel of engineering, but I still wouldn’t spend $500,000 on a Toyota Corolla.

      The problem is, if a newcomer gets on the market to sell a car and doesn’t benefit from the scale of the other mass manufacturers, they unfortunately have no choice but to sell at a high price.

      That’s why buying local is often more expensive. But in the end, I think it’s worth it for everybody for many reasons.
