The following I got from the back page of my new Suffolk Machinery Catalog (makers of the Timber Wolf band saw blade).

It's unwise to pay too much ...
but it's worse to pay too little.
When you pay too
much, you lose a little money ...
that is all.
When you pay too little, you
sometimes lose everything,
because the thing you bought was
incapable of doing
the thing it was bought to do.
-
The common law of business balance
prohibits paying a little
and getting a lot . . . . .
it can't be done.
-
If you deal with the lowest bidder,
it is well to add something
for the risk you run.
And if you do that, you will have
enought to pay for something better.
