There is hardly anything in this world
that somebody can do a little worse
and could sell a little more cheaply
and the people
that are orientating themselves only at the price
these become just spoils of such wheelings and dealings.

It is unwisely too many to pay
but it is even worse
paying too less.
If you pay for too much
you are looseing some money, this is everything.
If you pay too less against this
you may sometimes lose everything
the bought object since
accomplish the task intended he cannot.

It forbids the law of economy
getting much value for little money.

Accept the lowest offer
you must take the risk
this having influence on you, adding something.

And if you do this
you then have enough money, too
around a little good to pay.

John Ruskin (1819 – 1900)
