Welcome to the 21th century!
Were the price is not fixed by how much it costs to produce, but how
much the target is ready and expecting to pay.

In this wonderful time, selling a set of identical items with different
price is just an opening.

A 2TB hard drive at 25$ : it must be crap.
At 100$ : it's cheap and ok.
At 130$ : it is a bit of margin for the seller.
At 200$ : it must be real good.
At 500$ : it's only for the pro.

It's also a sad time: the expected time life of any product is about the
one provided by the law. (and that might be short!)

If Britain  was great, what about the United Kingdom ?
and the Common Wealth ?

it's free.
