There are some amazing bargins on the web. Places where you can put out for bid a project and have people from all over the world bid on it. Two of my favorites are:

I had a buddy get his business logo designed for $25 by a guy in Hungary (versus $500 American firms were proposing). He also got a fully functional database driven website for $150 by a firm in India, where the American firms were bidding over $2000. If any fool wants to support these outragous prices, be my guest. The rest of us will get rich on the bargins.
Well said.
Your internet bargains are a classic example of free trade in action. The alternative to free trade being protectionism (tariffs, controls).
Protection makes sense for certain sensitive sectors (e.g. Defence) but leads to unviable, featherbedded industries that eventually become a charge on the state.
