Sorry, I must have misunderstood your original post. I got the feeling you
were saying that the larger the company, the more they would have to charge.
>From your original post:
"As a rule of thumb (not to be confused the Olde English version)
anything that is manufactured for retail sale has the COST multiplied by
at least 4 in small companies and 8 in larger ones."
So you had the larger company charging more than the smaller company.
