An example st the front of my mind is that most of the people I know personally and most of the people who I come across online, are all too happy to decry car dealers for adding a markup (above MSRP) for desirable cars as greedy dirtbags. “I won’t pay a penny above MSRP” etc. Those same people are all too happy to pay a discounted (again, from MSRP) market price or shop around the entire country to find the best price. Perhaps more to the point, they are also all too happy to sell their house for the absolute most money they can get. Do as I say, not as I do, is all too common. (Of course car dealers are all dirty conniving greedy bastards, but not for asking market price for both high demand and high supply cars.)
