Why were Far Eastern luxury goods prohibitively expensive?

How would finding a water trade route affect the price of goods?
Carrying cargo by water has historically been cheaper, faster, and more efficient than carrying the same cargo over land. An example would be trade between Europe and the Far East. Prior to the discovery of a water route, goods had to pass between many middlemen, each time increasing their cost, and the route from Europe to China took years to traverse. Any cargo had to be carried by horses, mules, or camels, which had to be fed and watered, and thieves were always a threat. On the open ocean, a single ship powered by wind could carry many tons of goods in a dramatically shorter period of time with no middlemen and a much lower risk of theft (there were still a few pirates). Hence, a water route for goods would make them much less expensive.

Does it cost less or more to buy locally bought goods?
That depends on where you are and what you are buying. mass production in countries that underpay their workers leads us into situations where people in wealthier countries find that the cost of local goods of similar quality are far more expensive.
