Hmmm, seems many folks would dissagree with you. When considering how many barrels Proof sells around the country, to happy customers I'm reminded that sometimes paying more is understood. Scruples aside, if someone will pay more for something than I will, then there is a market for it; and I for one want more folks to feel free to fill it. This breeds competition and competition is the reaper of high prices. I'd rather pay for something at a high price - if the performance and service provided are worth it, than pay a lower price for something that provides inferior performance with no or unsatisfactory service. I'm pretty sure that the market (case in point - this thread) will ferret out the lesser performers and force them either into oblivion, or reducing their pricing to reflect it.
