This. I will also add that you will have plenty of people that would agree with your statement and claim to support it but behind the scenes they still expect Harbor Freight prices and will continue to buy cheap.

You will have folks critical of the business owners who are charging so much more just to get rich. They will wonder why their prices cannot be cheaper or at least what "they" consider a fair price. Then they will "show them" and buy cheaper and you are back to where you started.
