There are two kinds of people... Those who understand and appreciate the free market, and those who think they have some better system for setting prices.
When prices are set by any other system, there is always a shortage or a surplus. If you are the buyer, a surplus is nice. But if you are the seller with stuff you can't sell, you aren't so happy.
Of course, we are also
free to complain about the price whether we buy the item or not.
In a free-market (and honest) transaction, both parties benefit!!! If either party won't benefit, they are free to back out (or ignore the offer) and there is simply no transaction.
Nobody ever gets ripped-off (in an honest transaction where there is no fruad.)
I used to think that there was a winner and a looser in every transaction, and the best-case was "break-even" or a tie. But I was wrong... Everybody wins! There is no point in going to the trouble of buying something only to "break even", and you certainly won't buy something to come-out behind... You will only buy if you can come-out ahead, and the seller will only sell if he/she can come-out ahead!
Of course one party can "win bigger" than the other party, and you're free to complain about that too! But, there is no better way to set prices than by free-market agreement between buyer and seller.
