It looks like some people are intentionally misunderstanding your thread.

I think most of us understand that you are perfectly aware of supply and demand and it's pretty insulting for anyone to imply otherwise.

The problem many have is when it's done in a way that appears sneaky or dishonest- especially here at YT. I'm really surprised to see a seller defending it to be honest.
Maybe a thread should be started to educate certain sellers that their customer base does not appreciate being insulted, especially when there are so many options.
