Electronics, pricing and moral??

Folks,

when testing the Edirol noise etc, a nasty question triggers my brain
again. It comes up now and then.
Please give your opinions:

Suppose I would make a simple, but very handy low noise amp to Edirol 09 et=
c.
Suppose it is a very simple electronic device, almost beginner's level.
Suppose I put it into a box and made it (sort of) professional looking.
Suppose the material cost is 10 USdollars
Suppose it takes 4 hours / each to make. (A week to make 10)

If I want the same pay as the guy fixing my roof or the one mending my car,=

then I will need 350 USdollars for it.

Can that be justified? Considering that the very same unit would cost 15
dollars at Radio Shack, if made in China??

Klas.
