Frankly, I don't know why anyone on this ng feels they have to justify their
level of markup to anyone else here !! The market and shopping customers
will always decide whether the end user price on anything is legitimate,
competitive with others, and ultimately worth paying. We can't complain
about such things as rate levels for monitoring dropping sharply via small
dealers with little overhead, or direct to end user monitoring stations on
one hand, and then in the next breath, raze others on the ng because they
charge a certain amount which may or may not be too high !! Profit is not a
dirty word; it keeps all of us alive and well...

This is a free market economy for most things; let the market
prevail......(on the other hand, you often have to question the wisdom of a
lot of buying consumers.....)
