is no one is going to pay $45 for a hose clamp when a $3.00 alternative will work the same. Unless you have money to burn and want to enter a car show. How many car owners are entering their cars for car shows? Do any of these companies do market research? You always have to ask these two questions: #1 . Would I buy a product like that ? #2. Would I be willing to pay that much for it?
