Never understood this part of Economics's 101!!

Make a product using the least mount of components BUT selling price will be the greatest!

I do understand, "just because we can" in any industry!

When you have a government like ours now days, Regs, import/export regs, high prices and not available are the standard by which WE are forces to live with!

A few months ago here, every store selling ammo had 410 shells, made in Turkey!! Cheapest was $19 a box. Haven't seen any since. Did see some "self defense" 410 in one store during the Holidays, $28 for five rounds!! LOL
