When you say something is small or something is large it all depends on what are you comparing it to, for example a mouse is large in comparison to ant but the mouse is small in comparison to an elephant. Yes, this is an extreme example, we all get the understanding. Even if an item is in a mutual categorisation of small this does not always mean that being small is easy or low cost. Pricing, in itself, is also another subject. Let us use vehicle damage as an example, as majority of people can relate.

Let us say you have had a shopping cart scratch your door. With some scratches, if they are only superficial they can be buffed out, but if it has gone through the paint the door will need to be re-sprayed.  Both scratches are small in comparison to a fender bender, but there is a huge price difference between the 2 types of scratches.  Some scratches may even come closer to the amount of a fender bender which is larger than a scratch.
