Why do products from larger companies cost more than those from smaller companies?

Question by Marisol: Why do products from larger companies cost more than those from smaller companies?

For example: an ipod shuffle costs more than another lesser-known mp3 player that has the shuffle feature as well.

Or

A Dell laptop with similar specs (if not slightly lower) as an Ibuypower laptop, but costs 200-300 dollars more.

Q&A: What is the average roof repair cost?

Question by : What is the average roof repair cost?

My roof has a section of shingles that have been ripped off somehow and the insurance won’t pay for the repair. I think the wood underneath might need to be replaced on that section as well.

It is an older model home with 4 shingled sections leading up to a large flat area on the top so the pitch is really steep. I think the design is stupid but its the only house in the area I could afford. I have it covered with a tarp but it needs to be fixed.
