Quoted By:
by simple market and demand things are worth what they are worth. Although it is also a matter of perception, let me explain; I am a chemist and I can tell you that a Pasteur pipette costs $0.10 retail, nitrile gloves $0.50, a glass pipette $5 to $7, beakers from $3 to $20, quickfit distillation systems $100 to $120, nuclear magnetic resonance $200 to $250... of the most expensive things (essential) can be a fume hood $6000 to $12000. For many people it is expensive, for others it is cheap, but no one is willing to pay high prices or sell cheap.
