"There is hardly
anything in the world that someone cannot make a little worse
and sell a little cheaper, and the people who consider price alone
are that person's
lawful prey.
It is unwise to pay too much, but it is also unwise to pay too
little. When you pay
too much, you lose a little money, that is all. When you pay too
little, you
sometimes lose everything because the thing you bought is incapable
of doing the
thing you bought it to do.
The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and
getting a lot... It
can't be done. If you deal with the lowest bidder it is well to add
something for the
risk you run. And if you do that you will have enough to pay for
something better." |
