Umm - it may be the nature of man - but it also has a lot to do with greed.

If you'd spend ?3million on a house, would you not be a little pissed off
that the developer has managed to use one of the cheapest brass accessories
he could find. Perhaps greed is the rule of commerce - if they make 1.5
million profit, is it not a little greedy to have not spend an extra ?1000
on it...

"At the end of the day" -LOL - yes he will be living under it.

Unfortunately it is the nature of man and the rule of commerce to try and
barter a price if possible.
Maybe the better companies should have provided a better sales pitch and
pointed out the shortcomings of the cheaper price..

I have frequently come up against the construction/building industries
lack
of momentum when explaining why a job is the price it is..
Why is this ? since a good explaination would always be a "tip the
scales"
point in any decisions I make.

To quote a phrase I dislike "At the end of the day" !!! He is the
one that
will be living under it...
