If you think that way you end up supplying crap to the bottom of the market.
You might as well start a $2 shop and sell the junk.

B&M Shifter cable is a good example, $50 on eBay or the one that comes with the shifter is the same El cheapo Chinese one.
Ours made in Melbourne is $200 for the cable, everyone whinges about the price.
You can buy the shifter assembly with the China cable for around $300.
Never mind the backlash on the China cable when it's on the car and it selects between two gears and lunches a box, it's only $50.
Heavy vehicle guys don't mind paying what it costs but the light vehicle market I get people whinging about $2 differences between competition.
It's not uncommon to get people with big dollar builds spit chips over paying $200 for custom cables.
