Someone will pay it, yes. Someone "needs" it, so there will be a demand. That doesn't mean that there isn't some sort of line to be crossed, even if it is subjective.

    You need to get over it. It's their business they charge what they like. You feel the price is too high move on. OR complain about it on line, AGAIN.

    LOL. I look at that and think I should raise my prices. If they can get that for the same job I am undercutting myself since I am clearly worth more then they are.
