Quite true! A number of years ago there was a bunch of noise in the press
about a $200 screw driver. This screwdriver was part of a tool kit that
contained everything from basic hand tools to a sophisticated electronic test
set that was quite expensive. The "investigative" reporter came up with the
$200 dollar screwdriver by taking the price of the tool kit and dividing it by
the number of items in it! Using this method, the electronic test set also
cost $200, which was a huge bargain!

When you hear about things like $600 toilet seats there's generally more to
the story.
