It's illegal. Now before someone goes into a fit, in this case illegal only means against the rules and not necessarily against the law.

No it's not. It's the free market at work. Costs don't have that much to do with price. If it did, then prices would be much higher across the board. Certainly they would be charging a lot more for an automobile. For the most part, companies don't determine prices, consumers do.
