It is foolhardy pay too much, but it's worse pay too little, when you pay too much for a ham, just lost some money and that's it all. However when you pay too little, you lose everything, because the ham purchased does not support the designated quality.
Economy´s Law forbid get a good ham for low cost, but if you decide on the cheaper offer, some money should be reserved for the assumed risk that involves buying this quality ham, and when does this reserve, you have enough money to buy an excellent ham.
There is a proverb in the manufacturing sector of hams, which says "the success of making a good ham is not to sell it, (important) is not charge it(which is more important), what really matters is that the customers repeats because they are satisfied.”
