it is price gouging. or rather profiteering. the most profits are made are on the more inexpensive products manufactured. you can mark'em up several hundred percent and the consumer hasn't a clue. all the while have less of a mark up on the expensive so consumers can simply afford them. profits from the cheap help offset loss in other areas. that's what i see working in retail, anyway. i'm sure the dynamic varies
