What I was trying to show, was there is much much more involved with the price than just the "part" itself.

Everyone want's a reasonable wage (and rightfully so). That all has to be accounted for in the final price of the part. It would be extremely interesting to see just how many different people are involved from "making" the part to the final user. I think the number would astound us. Each and everyone of them make a wage that has to be accounted for in the price of the part.

And like another has stated....the stock holders want a return on their investment as well.

Small home town machinist's don't have all the overhead a major corporation does. Granted the corp works on mass numbers to recoup the R & D to bring it into a more reasonable figure per item.

I was involved with the transportation industry for 14 yrs. I can't count the number of times I heard "You can't do that, you took a job away from someone else on the floor". Well I'm sorry, no one ever got fired because I stacked my own pallet of goods on delivery. How many people are there to do a job vs how many does it truly take makes a big difference IMO. That all factors in on the final price you pay for X part.
