Yes, I get the immorality of it all, but that is how the free market works.This is not a free market. You have the patent on the hammer holder, a large subset of the population requires the hammer holder so that they, you know, can avoid dying on a moment's notice, and you require that the hamemr holder be bought in pairs and be replaced every six months. Also you are the only company that can legally make the hammer holder (see fig. 1: Patented design). This is the opposite of a free market. This is a highly protected and controlled market, in the sense that cattle are controlled in a stockyard.
You forget that there is a hammer holder alternative, it's just not as convenient. This new hammer holder has only been around a short time and not everyone was, you know, dying at a moments notice before this new one came to market.
If you don't like the price, use the solution that existed before this one. It's still there.
