I agree.

Msottilaro was just yanking the poster's chain when he responded (I laughed
when I read it).  He's right; nobody should be shocked by capitalism in a
capitalist society! ;)))

On the other hand you're right too.  Folks on the Looper's Delight list are
slightly more informed than the general pub regarding EDP availability and
issues surrounding its scarcity.  The $200 hike just smells to high heaven.

But who am I to talk?  I just willingly paid a big wad of moo for an EMU
MP-7 from an online retailer.  I knew full well that the higher-than-normal
tag was because they knew they were sitting on the last several of these 
(in
A-stock).  So my "shock" regarding the EDP hike is a bit misplaced if not
self-righteous.  But still rubs me the wrong way.

this is not an issue of the pure capitalist ideal of supply and demand,
because of the fishy circumstances of the lack of supply.
