If you could make it for $1.00 and sell it for $3.00, someone else
would start making it and selling it for $2.95.

Yes, that happens every day. It is called "Competition" and is good for
business. If forces the first company to find a way to make it for 80¢ and
sell it for $2.75.

I remember buying a computer and paying $335 to upgrade from the standard
14" monitor to a 17". Now you can buy a complete computer that is 20X
faster for close to that money and get a flat screen LCD monitor with it.
