There are many awesome sellers who make an honest profit and inspire customer loyalty. Anyone who thinks it is okay to sell a Walmart or Dollar Store dress at boutique prices would never get my business.
There are movie stars spending $4,000 a week to have their dog's massaged for goodness sakes. I don't think selling walmart products for a $10-$15 profit is "scr%wing your customers.

That being said I do like your reasonable business sense of keeping your customers. You would do very well and would have many repeat customers.
