Wise words!
“There is hardly anything in this world that somebody
cannot do a little bit worse and sell at a lower price.
People who are dictated by price are easy
prey for these machinations.
It is imprudent to pay too much but it is worse to pay
too little. When you pay too little, sometimes you loose
everything since the object you have bought cannot fulfill
the task it has been set. According to the law of economy
it is not possible to acquire high value with little money.
Accept the lowest offer and you take the risk that
you may need to incur extra costs.
If this is the case then you also have enough
money to pay for something better”.
(K. Ruskin, English social reformer 1819 -1900)
