    You can't call the price you charge for an item an ethical issue. 
    How much you can or will charge for a piece is based on a wide variety
    of factors including your location, your reputation (or brand--i.e.
    Tiffany's can charge a lot more for their product than Long's
    Jewelers), your costs of doing business, including overhead, labor,
    stocking charges, etc, and your own feelings of self worth.  Even if
    you charge a lot more for the same product than someone else, this is
    not unethical.  Ethics only enter into it if you are dishonest about
    what you are selling, not how much you charge for it. Daniel R. Spirer,
