Are you serious? The 70cm zipper takes pretty much exactly the same space as the 60cm one. It's not like they store 2 millions of them: all of them are on the rack. The 70cm just go 10cm lower on the ground. Same space.

You'll have to do better if you want to justify that those 10cm are worth 2$.

Just to be clear: I am for regulations, and I do favour the local merchants (e.g. by almost not using Amazon).

I just chose a specific example (the zipper) where I think the local merchant clearly abuses, to say that it goes both ways. I'm fine paying more if it helps the local merchant, but I am not fine getting screwed by them. I won't buy a bottle of water for 200$, even if it's sold at a local store.
