I've always felt that if they wish to price themselves out of existence, thats on them. All the other places have overhead too, and seem to cope. Even on-line stores have a place to keep fabric and employees to handle it, and heat/cooling and lights, and THEY have to package and mail as well. Do you suppose thats not overhead?
