Title: Pricing Polystyrene Hives
Post by: eejit on February 09, 2006, 01:44:13 PM
Hi, sorry if this seems a stupid question but how can companies justify the prices they are charging for polystyrene hives?  :? Of course they are high density (90g/litre?) but they after all very simple shapes made out of plastic which can be mass-produced very easily?

Cheers.

You can put a small piece of chocolate fudge on a counter top, give it a quirky name and a ten dollar price tag, and some one will buy it.
