MostlyWater, you might want to rethink your opinion about development and production costs, let alone shipping costs. If you think you'd use the bottle baster(s), to make one yourself first you'd have to come up with the idea, then you'd have to figure out how to make one or two, then you'd have to find the parts needed to make the item, then you'd have to do the actual trial and error of making one until you came up with what you wanted in the first place. That's a lot of work and effort.
And about shipping, would you be willing to drive 100 miles to avoid paying shipping charges? The expenses for driving all that way would be a whole lot more than the shipping charges you'd pay to just order the things you want.
Now if you can't pay the rent or buy food, just ignore this post. And you're all right, I'm just to logical for my own good!
