The Cost of Price versus The Price of Value
There is hardly anything in the world that some man cannot make
a little worse and sell a little cheaper. People who consider price
only are this man's lawful prey.
It's unwise to pay too much, but it's unwise to pay too little.
When you pay too much you loose little money, that is all. When
you pay too little, you sometimes loose everything, because the
thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing you bought it
to do.
The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and
getting a lot. It can't be done.
If you deal with the lowest bidder, it's well to add something
for the risk you run. And if you do that, you will have enough to
pay for something better.
