Exorbitant Price for More Mehudar Tefillin
Question
Isn't it exploitation that scribes sell square tefillin with a base for 1000 shekels more than regular tefillin when the cost difference of the boxes purchased from the manufacturer is only 100 shekels?
Answer
Hello,
There is no halacha on this matter.
The price of everything is determined by supply and demand.
Apparently, not many produce them, and there is high demand.
