You're aware that they set a price that they're comfortable with, yes? They chose not to set a market clearing price. It's not about a "purity" test. It's what they choose to do.
It's amazing how uncomfortable people get if there are examples of people not wringing every last ounce of profit out of something.
- rsj_hn 6y agoPlease read the post that I was responding to, which insisted on framing everything in terms of some weird definition of luxury-price morality. It's strange how much of a raw nerve is touched when you point out the absurdity of people's various moral crusades. In terms of why the actual vendor is or is not raising prices, I have no idea, neither is it important. I was making a counter argument, not lobbying the vendor. They could charge a million dollars or one dollar for their handcrafted pens and there would be zero moral difference between these two prices.
