It comes from showing the customers the price list with the high figures, and letting them assume that they represent one's cost. The amount of markup is an individual decision. The point is, how would one feel if the markup were known to one's customers? If disclosure would be okay -- no problem. If one would turn red and stammer, it seems an unnecessary burden to carry through life. Susan
