The REAL PIRATES of the Caribbean

Do you know who the real pirates of the Caribbean are? It's not people sailing around on boats.
When we were sailing in Martinique, we bought three little copper washers. When we inquired why they cost $64 we were told it's because they have holes in them, those holes cost a lot.
In England we found the same washers for $4.67 each.
As we sail out sailboat further west, everything becomes more expensive. In fact things were cheaper on one of the most remote island in the world Saint Helena. The Caribbean island are close to America. Why the big mark up?
