Except that goods aren't priced based upon what they cost, they're priced based upon what people are willing to pay.
Does it really cost four times more to build a Cadillac then a Malibu? No.
Especially with car dealers when the "actual" price can be thousands less then what they claim it is when you walk into a showroom.
